Romanian capital market converts to IFRS starting 2012

Following a recent order issued by the Ministry of Finance, starting from financial year 2012, companies whose shares are traded on a regulated market must prepare their individual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards („IFRS”), said the company in a press release.rnrnThus, after credit institutions have adopted IFRS as a basis for their accounts from 1 January 2012 and the National Securities Commission and the Insurance Supervisory Commission have requested entities falling under their regulatory requirements to prepare a set of individual financial statements in line with IFRS for information purposes, IFRS has now become mandatory for all listed entities. rnrnThe adoption of IFRS will increase transparency and comparability of financial reporting, offering investors relevant information for their decision-making process. „The provision of high-quality financial information, presented in a language that is widely used internationally and accompanied by the opinion of an independent auditor strengthens investors’ confidence, facilitates access to funds and may even lower financing costs by diminishing the level of perceived risk”, says Aura Giurcăneanu, Head of Audit and Assurance of KPMG in Romania. rnrnAccording to KPMG specialists, another major step on the way to improving the financial reporting framework in Romania could be made by also allowing other companies to choose IFRS as a single reporting basis. “Many entities are currently required to carry out double reporting, according to Romanian accounting regulations as well as according to IFRS, which requires reconciliation of results and explanations for the differences. This raises questions for investors and banks alike and amplifies the uncertainty generated by the business environment”, says Angela Manolache, Director in the Advisory Department of KPMG in Romania. rnrnAccording to a KPMG survey, over 80% of its clients (local and multinational companies) prepare IFRS reporting either to comply with legal requirements or at the request of shareholders, financial institutions or other business partners.rn

Neutral interest rate in Romania

The neutral nominal rate in Romania has been falling since the start of inflation targeting in 2005. The Taylor Rule clearly shows that interest rates peaked in 2022 and have been on a clear downward path ever since.Furthermore, the model estimates a long-term neutral nominal rate of around 3.9%, which is the equivalent of approx. 1.4% real.Using a more sophisticated model (i.e. New York FED’S HLW model), the real neutral interest rate in Romania is estimated currently at around 1.5% (1.7% 2023 average) and the historical mean at 1.2%.This implies a neutral nominal rate between 4.00% and 4.50%. In the past decade, the NBR real effective rate was below the neutral rate and only over the past year climbed above the neutral mark.Source: Erste Bank
