Euro hits 17-month low on energy costs, French debt worries
Financial Times·FR · DE · US·1 day ago
The euro appreciated to a new all-time high against the Romanian leu, with the BNR fixing the rate at 5.3527 lei/euro, up 2.21 bani from Monday and 0.8 bani above the prior record. This continues a trend of leu weakness, likely driven by fiscal concerns and external factors. The move signals persistent depreciation pressure on the leu, which may prompt BNR intervention or rate action.
