CFA Romania’s Macroeconomic Confidence Index decreased by 2.1 points in October compared with the previous month, to 48.4 points, but it was up 5 points over the October 2017 index. According to a CFA Romania press release, this development was the result of negative changes in the expectations component of the index. Thus, the current conditions indicator increased marginally on a monthly basis by 0.3 points, to 62.5 points; compared with the same month of the previous year it increased by 3.4 points. The expectations indicator decreased by 3.3 points, to 41.3 points (+ 5.8 points compared with the same month last year). Regarding the EUR/RON exchange rate, over 80 percent of the participants are expecting the RON to depreciate over the next 12 months as against its current value. Thus, the average of the six-month expectations is 4.7087 RON to EUR, while the 12-month average is 4.7526. The expected inflation rate in 12 months, November 2019/November 2018, averages out at 4.50 percent.
