The leu opened at 4.347/4.35 per euro and traded near 4.345 per euro for most of the session, unmoved by January inflation data which showed the annual rate has fallen to a fresh record of 2.72%, despite a slight increase in monthly prices.
Elsewhere in the region, the leu’s peers gained ground versus euro, amid a positive sentiment after Greece approved a new batch of austerity measures needed to secure an international bailout and avoid a default.
