“The leu was stable because macroeconomic conditions in 2015 were stable. (…) For the future, despite the fact that the international economy and the region were not stable, if we maintain a stable domestic situation and largest imbalances don’t occur, the leu may remain stable this year as well,” said Isarescu.
External turmoil could destabilize the currency but it’s important not to aggravate the impact of such factors by adding domestic imbalances, which are harder to manage, he said.
