Romania’s total external debt rose by 1.5 billion euros, to 229.9 billion euros, in the first two months of this year, according to data published Wednesday by the National Bank of Romania (BNR).

National Bank of Romania (BNR) Governor Mugur Isarescu said on Monday that the country's current political power intends to separate the tax on bank assets from Romanian Interbank Offer Rate (ROBOR) index rates, on which it currently depends.

Romania’s Government will discuss the salaries of the central bank’s employees in September, when the two Parliament Chambers will hold a joint session, because the Executive lacks the legal means to intervene at the moment, said Prime Minister Emil Boc on Wednesday.
