Romania’s currency, RON, has reached on Thursday a fresh all-time low against the European single currency, the exchange rate rising to 4.6764/EUR, National Bank of Romania (BNR) data show, according to Business-Review.eu.
On Wednesday, the reference exchange rate was RON 4.6722/EUR, also an all-time low. The previous all-time low against the European single currency was reached on June 21, 2018, of 4.6695/EUR.
