Romania’s Industrial Output Returns to Growth in March After February Dip

Romania’s industrial production edged back into positive territory in March 2026, posting a 0.3% month‑over‑month increase, according to data updated on 13 May 2026. The rebound follows a 0.4% decline recorded in February 2026, signaling a modest recovery in industrial activity.

The data are based on month‑over‑month comparisons: the current 0.3% figure reflects the change in March versus February, while the previous -0.4% reading captured the shift from January to February. The turnaround suggests that, after a brief setback at the start of the year, Romanian industry has regained some momentum heading into the second quarter of 2026.
