The central bank board also decided in its first monetary policy meeting this year to maintain rates for deposit and lending facilities unchanged at 1.5% and 3.5%, respectively.
It also left minimum reserve requirements on foreign currency liabilities and for leu deposits unchanged at 8%.
The rate has remained unchanged since May 2018. Previously, the central bank raised it throughout 2018 after three years of keeping it at a record-low of 1.75%.
