The Romanian economy weathered the 2020 COVID-19 storm better than many others in the EU. Restrictions were less severe than elsewhere during the winter, and so the full-year contraction of GDP remained below 4%. The recovery in 2021 will not be fast (+3.8%), owing to protracted lockdowns and austerity measures in the government budget. Huge inflows of EU funds could boost investment in the coming years.
