Romania's Leu Faces Collapse: Expert Warns of Economic Crisis

Romania's Leu Faces Collapse Risk: Expert Warns of Economic Instability Romania's national currency, the Leu, is facing a potential collapse, according to a recent video posted online by Prundurel Emil-(Avocat). The author claims the National Bank of Romania (BNR) is printing excessive amounts of money to fund pension payments, leading to a devaluation of the Leu and a potential depletion of the country's foreign exchange reserves. The video, uploaded on June 5th, 2025, has garnered significant attention due to its alarming predictions. "The Leu is depreciating, and to stop this, the BNR should change approximately 7 billion euros, about 6.75 from the euro-lei reserves," claims Emil in the video. This represents over 10% of the reserve, he adds, expressing concern about the long-term consequences. He warns that if the situation continues for several months, the foreign exchange reserve could be completely depleted. Emil's concerns highlight a wider discussion about the sustainability of Romania's economic policies. While his analysis requires further verification from official sources, the video serves as a starting point for a crucial conversation about the potential risks to the Romanian economy. The BNR has yet to issue an official response to these claims. The situation underscores the importance of transparency and responsible economic management in maintaining currency stability and preventing potential economic crises.
