The gold stock remained unchanged at 103.7 tonnes. However, following the change in the international price of gold, its value amounted to EUR 3.6 billon, according to the BNR.

During March 2018, the payments due on the foreign currency-denominated public and publicly guaranteed debt amount to approximately EUR 96 million.
