The National Bank of Romania published its monthly international reserves update, reporting that foreign exchange reserves stood at EUR 65.408 billion on 30 November 2025, up from EUR 65.347 billion on 31 October 2025. Total international reserves including gold increased to EUR 77.419 billion, described as the highest level ever recorded. During November, inflows totalled EUR 2.544 billion, driven by changes in foreign-currency minimum reserves held by credit institutions at the National Bank of Romania and funding of Ministry of Finance accounts, among other items. Outflows amounted to EUR 2.483 billion, including changes in minimum reserves, payments of approximately EUR 853 million in principal and interest on foreign-currency-denominated public debt, and payments from the European Commission account. Gold holdings were unchanged at 103.6 tonnes, valued at EUR 12.011 billion based on international price developments; planned payments due in December 2025 on foreign-currency-denominated public debt (direct or guaranteed by the Ministry of Finance) total about EUR 647 million.
