★

2008-03-16 — Căderea Bear Stearns

Criza Bear Stearns a slăbit dolarul, dar a crescut și incertitudinea globală. Cursul EUR/RON a urcat la 3.76, pe fondul temerilor că turbulențele financiare americane vor afecta și economia europeană și implicit pe cea românească.

★

2008-09-15 — Falimentul Lehman Brothers

Falimentul Lehman Brothers a declanșat cea mai gravă criză financiară din ultimele decenii. Cursul EUR/RON a explodat de la 3.62 la 3.99 în doar trei luni, pe măsură ce investitorii străini și-au retras capitalurile din piețele emergente, inclusiv România.

★

2010-05-02 — Criza datoriilor Greciei

Primul pachet de salvare pentru Grecia (110 miliarde EUR) a scos la iveală fragilitatea zonei euro. Cursul EUR/RON a urcat de la 4.12 la 4.36, pe măsură ce investitorii au pus sub semnul întrebării viitorul monedei unice europene.

★

2011-08-05 — Criza datoriilor zonei euro

Retrogradarea creditului SUA de către S&P și escaladarea crizei italiene au crescut tensiunile în zona euro. Cursul EUR/RON a urcat la 4.29, reflectând temerile că România, ca țară emergentă din UE, va fi afectată de o eventuală destabilizare a monedei unice.

★

2012-07-26 — Draghi: "Orice e necesar"

Președintele BCE Mario Draghi a declarat că va face "orice e necesar" pentru a salva euro. Cursul EUR/RON era la 4.62 — un nivel ridicat — dar discursul a stabilizat piețele și a prevenit o deteriorare și mai mare. A fost momentul de cotitură al crizei zonei euro.

★

2015-12-16 — Fed majorează dobânda pentru prima dată din 2006

Decizia Fed a accentuat divergența dintre politica monetară americană (restrictivă) și cea europeană (relaxată — BCE tocmai lansase programul QE). Cursul EUR/RON a rămas relativ stabil la 4.50, BNR continuând să gestioneze flotarea.

★

2016-06-23 — Marea Britanie votează pentru Brexit

Brexit-ul a crescut incertitudinea în zona euro, dar impactul asupra cursului EUR/RON a fost limitat datorită intervențiilor BNR. Cursul a urcat ușor de la 4.51 la 4.53, BNR menținând stabilitatea leului.

★

2016-11-08 — Donald Trump câștigă alegerile prezidențiale

★

Pandemia COVID-19 a generat turbulențe majore pe piețele valutare. Cursul EUR/RON a urcat de la 4.77 la 4.87, dar BNR a intervenit pentru a preveni o depreciere și mai mare a leului. Deficitul bugetar al României s-a adâncit pe fondul măsurilor de sprijin economic.

★

2022-02-24 — Rusia invadează Ucraina

Invazia rusă în Ucraina a provocat cea mai mare criză de securitate din Europa de după Al Doilea Război Mondial. Cursul EUR/RON a urcat la 4.94, nivelul maxim al intervalului gestionat de BNR, pe fondul crizei energetice și al temerilor de escaladare.

★

2025-05-08 — EUR/RON atinge maximul istoric de 5.1222

Cursul EUR/RON a atins maximul istoric de 5.1222, pe fondul deficitului bugetar ridicat al României (peste 6% din PIB) și al incertitudinii politice. BNR a permis o depreciere graduală controlată a leului, după ani de menținere a cursului în banda îngustă de 4.97-5.00.

About Euro (EUR)

The Euro (EUR) is the official currency of the eurozone, used by 20 of the 27 member states of the European Union. It was introduced in 1999 as a virtual currency and in 2002 as physical banknotes and coins. It is the second most traded currency in the world after the US dollar. The EUR/RON exchange rate is the most important currency pair for Romania, used in trade, mortgage loans, and daily transactions.

⚠ How to recognize counterfeit banknotes of EUR

Touch: Genuine banknotes have a distinct, slightly rough texture. The letters BCE, ECB, and the denomination value are embossed.

Watermark: Hold the banknote up to the light — you will see the portrait of Europa and the denomination value.

Holographic strip: On 5-20 EUR banknotes there is a silver holographic strip. On 50-500 EUR banknotes, a holographic patch.

Emerald green number: On the front of the banknote, the shiny number changes color from emerald green to deep blue when you tilt the banknote.

Portrait window (Europa series): New banknotes have a transparent window with the portrait of Europa, visible on both sides.

Microprinting: With a magnifying glass, check the small text on the banknote — it should be clear, without blurred edges.

UV: Under ultraviolet light, the colored fibers in the paper become fluorescent, and the banknote does not glow uniformly.

Important: If you suspect you have a counterfeit banknote, do not try to use it. Take it to the nearest bank or police station.

💡 Fun facts about EUR

Euro banknotes do NOT feature real buildings — bridges and gates are fictitious, so as not to favor any member state

The designer of euro banknotes is Austrian Robert Kalina, winner of the 1996 competition with the theme 'Ages and Styles of Europe'

The € symbol was inspired by the Greek letter epsilon (Ε) and represents the first letter of the word 'Europe'; the two parallel lines symbolize stability

The first single European currency was introduced on January 1, 1999 (electronic) and on January 1, 2002 (physical, banknotes and coins)

Each eurozone country can choose its own design on the national side of coins — there are over 300 different euro coin variants in circulation

The 500 EUR banknote was nicknamed 'Bin Laden' — everyone knew it existed, but no one saw it; it was withdrawn from printing in 2019

The ECB (European Central Bank) was established in 1998 in Frankfurt, but the idea of a single European currency dates back to 1969 (the Werner Plan)
