• Romania has an open economy and should be mindful of the uncertain global backdrop. 2024 is also a mayor election year in Romania and that is always creating some extra political turbulence. The surprising uptick in inflation in January this year would indicate the first expected cut in interest rates by the National Bank could more likely be pushed into second half 2024. With such a scenario in horizon, RomReal will continue its careful approach including cost focus, minimised risks, and no cash return to its shareholders for the time being.
