Real wages steady in Romania in August as inflation eases, 2027 advance problematic

In August, real wages in Romania remained steady as inflation eased, according to economic data. This performance represents a visible improvement compared to the 2.5% real contraction recorded in July and the 5% to 6% decline in real net wages seen earlier in the year relative to the same period in 2025.

In nominal terms, the average net wage in the country reached RON 5,688 during August. Despite the stabilization observed in August, analysts view the projected wage advance for 2027 as problematic.
