09:30 AM EDT, 10/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Romania's central bank (NBR) Wednesday said its Board decided to keep rates unchanged, as expected by the majority of economists.

The NBR left the monetary policy rate at 6.50%, while the lending (Lombard) facility rate stayed at 7.50% and the deposit facility rate at 5.50%.

The central bank also maintained the existing levels of minimum reserve requirement ratios on both leu- and foreign currency-denominated liabilities of credit institutions.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
