The leu opened at 4.35/4.351 per euro and moved in a tight range in early trade.

Elsewhere in the region, the leu’s peers were edging higher versus the euro, amid rising optimism following the ECB’s decision to finance 800 banks and upbeat US jobs data earlier in the week.

The central bank set the leu’s reference at 4.3488 to the euro Thursday, barely changed on the day.

On the money market Friday morning, overnight rates were down to 2.9%-3.4% a year, from 3.3%-3.8% a year in the previous day.
