“There are three aspects related to Romania in connection with Great Britain’s decision to leave the EU: on the short term, mainly related to financial markets, on the medium and long term, mainly related to the political sector. Measures have been taken on the short term,” Olteanu stated.
The central bank deputy governor added that nobody wanted or expected the UK to leave the European Union.
“It is obvious that the entire world will face economic consequences. We can’t see, at the moment, that Great Britain’s rating dropped by two grades, as the markets are flooded by liquidities. From this point of view, Romania will face limited consequences,” Olteanu stated.
