“The liquidity on the market is now down, before the holidays, with volumes very low, and very few players. They moved the rate by about RON 0.03, speculating the leu at a certain moment, but I think the rate will exceed RON 3.47/1€ by the closing of the exchange rate session,” according to a statement for NewsIn by a bank dealer.
