The all-time low had been caused by the political turmoil, following the collapse of the government of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan in a no-confidence vote on May 5.
The day before the no-confidence vote, Romania’s central bank had announced a reference rate of RON5.218 per euro.
The leu has lost about 3.5% against the euro over the past two weeks, after having hovered at RON5.09 per euro since the beginning of the year.
The previous record had been set on May 8, 2025, RON5.12 per euro, after the then Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu announced resignation after the first round of the presidential elections.
