The National Bank of Romania expands its online presence and officially

launches its Instagram account.                                                    

By constantly enhancing its digital communication toolbox, the National

Bank of Romania aims to engage new audiences so as to improve the

information of the general public regarding the central bank’s activity.

This Instagram account will stand out from the other social media channels

currently used by the NBR (Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube) by promoting eye-

catching visual content, and increasing interactivity and accessibility for

audiences that are not necessarily well-versed in economics.              

The NBR’s initiative to use this social network not only ties in with similar

steps taken by other European central banks, but also keeps up with the

latest digital trends.                                                                                 

We invite you to follow us on Instagram starting today, 16 December 2019,

by going to our official page
