Romania: IMF, strong economic recovery projected in 2021

GDP will rebound 7% this year

31 May, 09:47
(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 31 - A strong economic recovery is projected for Romania in 2021, according to the latest forecast of International Monetary Fund (IMF), included in the concluding statement of a mission to the country. A 7 percent real GDP rebound is projected for 2021, with Romania's economic pickup appearing "to have been the fastest among the EU countries" since the last quarter of last year. " Over the next five years, absorption of large EU funds will be pivotal to Romania's economic performance," the IMF noted.

The IMF stressed that downside risks to the outlook derive "from unexpected adverse shifts in the evolution of the pandemic, including possibly due to new virus strains, shorter vaccine effectiveness, or unwillingness to vaccinate." (ANSA).
