Romania’s public debt under the EU’s ESA methodology edged up marginally in April, by RON 1.7 billion (EUR 327 million) to RON 1.17 trillion, while, due to the exchange rate variations, it decreased by 0.7% m/m when expressed in euros to EUR 227.9 billion, according to data published by the Finance Ministry.  The debt-to-GDP ratio edged up to 60.2% at the end of April from 60.1% one month earlier.  The publication of the Q2 GDP will result in a downward correction of the ratio calculated at the end of April. However, it has already exceeded the 60% ratio under semi-definitive data unlikely to be revised significantly, at the end of March. During the first four months of 2028, Romania’s external debt rose by EUR 6.7 billion (or only EUR 4.8 billion including the effects of the exchange rate variation), which indicates slower nominal growth compared to EUR 34 billion during the entire year 2025 or EUR 36.1 billion, thanks to comparatively smaller budget deficit to finance this year: only 1.2% of GDP in January-April compared to nearly 3% of GDP in the same period last year.
