The National Bank of Romania holds approximately 104 tonnes in gold reserves. Gold investment is growing among the Romanian middle class as a euro-adjacent hedge.

Romanian investors use gold to hedge against leu weakness relative to the euro. As an EU member that has not adopted the euro, Romania's monetary policy creates exchange rate risk. Gold provides a store of value uncorrelated to Romanian domestic assets, which are heavily real-estate concentrated.
