In Romania, economic growth came almost to a halt in 2012. The recovery of agricultural production
under normal weather conditions can in itself generate the forecasted 1.5% GDP growth in 2013.
Bank deleveraging, bad debts and corporate insolvency will remain a drag on the economy. Fiscal
expansion plans have been halted by the IMF. New taxes and tariffs will prolong the period of rela-
tively strong inflation.
