Key developments and challenges

Growth has resumed and macroeconomic stability has been preserved. The growth rate in 2011 was influenced by an exceptional performance in agriculture, and inflation fell to historically low levels, but economic performance in 2012 is being adversely affected by the eurozone crisis.

Problems persist in the energy sector but are being addressed. Romania has faced infringement action by the European Commission over the persistence of regulated prices, but the government has committed to phase these out over time.

Financial sector contingency planning has been stepped up. The banking sector has coped well with the crisis but vulnerabilities remain; the authorities have taken steps to strengthen coordination and bank resolution powers.
