Romania is also surpassed only by the United Kingdom in terms of those believing that individual action of a state is more effective than coordinated actions.
The survey indicates that about one third of Romanians interviewed trust the government to counter the economic crisis, unlike 23 percent who are waiting for solutions from the European Union, and 10 percent from the United States. According to the survey, only 9 percent of Romanians said that the International Monetary Fund is most capable of dealing effectively with the crisis, while 11 percent trust the G8 group.
Regarding the adoption of the European currency, some 44 percent of Romanians said that if the euro was already Romania’s currency, it would have softened the effects of the crisis, unlike 19 percent who said they did not believe this.
About 79 percent of Romanians said that the status of the economy has affected their personal situation, while 75 percent said they are pessimistic about the effects of this crisis in the coming five years on their own standard of living.
