Summary

Romania’s economy has stabilized and growth is now resuming. The financial program’s objectives include structural reforms in the energy and transport sectors, and restructuring and privatization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The macroeconomic outlook is expected to improve in 2011–12 with a gradual pickup in growth, a stable current account, and inflationary pressures that are still high but will begin to recede after mid-2011. The authorities are also focusing on reducing the arrears of the rest of the public sector.
