The leu opened flat at 4.308/4.31 per euro and traded around that levels for the first part of the session.
“Interest in the leu is low, as reflected in the trade volumes. However, the forint and the zloty are gaining 0.5% each against the euro, on investor optimism following Dexia’s rescue plan,” said one dealer.
The central bank set the leu’s reference at 4.3146 to the euro Friday, slightly weaker on the day.
On the money market Monday morning, overnight rates were at 4.7%-5.2% a year.
