Banca Naţională a României rata dobânzii de politică monetară — the fixed rate on the BNR's main open-market operations (normally one-week repo tenders at a fixed rate), set by the Consiliul de administraţie al BNR under Legea nr. 312/2004 privind Statutul BNR. The lending (Lombard) and deposit facility rates form a symmetric ±100bps corridor around it. Romania is an EU member but NOT in the euro area, so it retains the leu and an independent policy rate; the ECB deposit facility rate is not the operative rate for Romania.
