Monday, the leu closed at 4.5095/4.5115 to the euro.
The local currency opened at 4.512 per euro and moved in a narrow range during the trading session, amid weak investor interest.
“Despite the leu’s calm reaction to the recent political tensions, we believe that a formal split-up of the ruling coalition may drive the local currency toward this year’s lows of around 4.55 to the euro,” ING Bank said in a note.
The central bank set the leu’s reference at 4.5173 units, 0.16% weaker on the day. Against the US dollar, the leu’s indicative lost 0.26% to 3.2858 units.
