SDDS Plus

The IMF’s Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board – DSBB, presents the components of the SDDS Plus concerning the meta-data, namely – the methodology, quality and accessibility, equality of data-users and thus emphasizes transparency in the compilation and dissemination of the official statistics. The responsibility for the accuracy of the metadata, including timely updates, and for the economic and financial data underlying the metadata rests with the subscriber.
The National Summary Data Page (NSDP) includes a wide range of macroeconomic indicators (data categories) related to the five sectors of the national economy – Real Sector, Fiscal Sector, Financial Sector, External Sector as well as for the Population.
In relation to the NSDP the SDDS Plus requires the elaboration and maintenance of an Advance Release Calendar (ARC) that comprises provisional information concerning the timing of the data releases for a four months horizon.
Important!
Redenomination of domestic currency - Starting 1 July 2005, the domestic currency leu (ROL), was subject to redenomination and 10,000 old lei, in circulation on that date, were exchanged for 1 new leu (RON). The existing banknotes and coins are legal tender until end-December 2006. Starting 1 January 2007, the exchange shall be made only at the NBR branches carrying out payments and at the offices of the credit institutions authorised by the NBR Governor's. There is no time limit for exchanging ROL notes and coins for RON notes and coins.

1) NOTE: In relation to the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the infra-annual, operative statistical data may present a lower degree of reliability, accuracy, completeness and comparability, as a result of the difficulties arising from the application of economic and social measures, determined by the declaration of state emergency/alert throughout Romania. These difficulties were mainly determined by heavy access to the financial and accounting documents, caused frequently by the sudden closure of certain economic and social units, by not completing in due time of the respective documents, by relaxation of legal deadlines for submitting tax documents to the related institutions, by temporarily suspending the activity for a significant number of economic and social units or even by ceasing their activity, in some cases.
2) NOTE: According to the national legislation provisions in force (GEO No. 79/2017, as subsequently amended and supplemented), the social security contribution and the social health insurance contribution paid by the employer were transferred to the employee; thus, starting with January 2018, these contributions are borne entirely by the employee, and reflected in the gross amount of the nominal earnings. Consequently, the indicator "average monthly gross earnings" produced and disseminated starting with the reference month January 2018 is no longer comparable to data series prior to 2018.
