The National Bank of Romania's gold reference rate
Romania is one of the few countries whose central bank lists gold next to its currencies. Every day the National Bank of Romania (BNR) publishes reference rates in lei, and the list includes a rate for gold, code XAU. It is a reference figure, not a shop price, and we do not copy it here; this page shows the live international price instead. Today the bare international price works out to about 619.84 RON per gram of 24k gold, 464.88 RON for 18k and 362.61 RON for 14k.
Legal standards and the ANPC state mark
Romania has nine legal gold finenesses: 333, 375, 500, 585, 750, 833, 900, 916 and 999 thousandths, so pieces from 8 karat up to fine gold can be sold. According to a consumer guide based on the consumer authority's own material, jewellery must carry a state mark, applied only by ANPC (the National Authority for Consumer Protection) before the piece enters the market, a responsibility mark registered with ANPC, and a fineness mark from the maker. The rules come from Emergency Ordinance 190/2000 on precious metals, amended in 2018.
VAT: 21% since August 2025, investment gold exempt
Romania's standard VAT rate rose from 19% to 21% on 1 August 2025 (Law 141/2025). Investment gold has a special scheme in the Fiscal Code: gold bars and coins are VAT-exempt as long as a coin's price stays within 80% above the value of its gold. Ask whether a jewellery price includes VAT.
What moves the leu gold price
Gold is priced in US dollars, so the lei price moves with both the dollar gold price and the USD/RON rate, which the BNR also publishes every day. A weaker leu raises the local gold price even when gold is flat in dollars. See what moves gold prices.
Rules for gold traders in Romania
The Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF) supervises investment firms, and the BNR supervises banks. The EU-wide limits on CFDs for retail clients apply; ESMA's list of national measures shows none for Romania. Check a firm's ASF authorisation before you trade.
Our country guides explain how to check a firm before you open an account.
Trading hours in Eastern European Time
The international gold market trades almost around the clock, from Monday morning in Asia to Friday evening in New York. The busiest window, the London–New York overlap, falls today at about 15:00–19:00 EET/EEST. That is when US data such as payrolls and inflation is released and the price usually moves most. Romania is on EET (UTC+2) in winter and EEST (UTC+3) in summer, so the overlap falls in the late afternoon; it moves by an hour for a few weeks a year because Europe and the US change their clocks on different dates. The gold market hours tool shows every session in your own time zone.
How this RON gold price is calculated
Three numbers decide everything on this page. First, the international gold price in US dollars per troy ounce: $4,042.7 at the last update. Second, the exchange rate: 1 USD = 4.7689 RON. Third, the weight: one troy ounce is 31.1035 grams, and one tola is 11.6638 grams.
- Price per gram in USD = $4,042.7 ÷ 31.1035 = $129.98.
- Price per gram in RON = $129.98 × 4.7689 = 619.84 RON (24k, pure gold).
- Price per 10 grams = 619.84 × 10 = 6,198.38 RON.
- For a lower purity, multiply by the fineness: 22k = 0.9167, 18k = 0.75, 14k = 0.585, 9k = 0.375, 8k = 0.333.
The gold price is the spot price of gold (XAUUSD) from a public real-time feed, refreshed every few seconds while the page is open; the 7-day table and the 30-session chart use COMEX gold futures closes, which usually sit a few dollars above spot. The exchange rate is a mid-market rate; the rate your bank or money changer gives you will be slightly different. If you want to do the maths yourself, our guide to converting the gold price per gram, tola and kilo walks through every step with worked examples.
What this price does not include
The figures above are the international spot price converted into local currency. They are the starting point for every retail price in Romania, but they are not the price you will pay or receive at a shop. The shop price adds some or all of these on top:
- Import duty or customs charges, where gold or jewellery is imported.
- Sales tax or VAT, where the country charges one. Many countries tax jewellery but not investment bars; the sections above say what applies here.
- Dealer premium: the margin a bullion dealer or bank adds to the spot price for bars and coins, usually larger on small pieces.
- Making charges (labour) on jewellery, often a percentage of the gold value or a fixed amount per gram.
- Local supply and demand, which can push the physical price to a premium or a discount against the international price for weeks at a time.
When you sell, the buyer usually quotes below the spot-based number and deducts for purity testing, wear and sometimes stones. The gap between the buying and the selling price is the real cost of owning physical gold, and it varies a lot between shops, so it is worth asking several.

Frequently asked questions
What is the gold rate today in Romania?
At the last update, pure (24k) gold was about 619.84 RON per gram and 6,198.38 RON per 10 grams, based on the international price converted at the latest exchange rate. The numbers at the top of this page refresh automatically. The National Bank of Romania publishes a daily gold (XAU) reference rate in lei, but shops set their own prices from the international price and add VAT and their margin.
What is the difference between 22k and 24k gold?
Karat (k) measures purity in 24ths, and fineness in parts per thousand. 24k is pure gold (999 fineness or very close to it); 22k is 91.67% gold (fineness 916); 18k is 75% gold (fineness 750); 14k is 58.5% gold (fineness 585); 9k is 37.5% gold (fineness 375); 8k is 33.3% gold (fineness 333). The rest is other metals, such as copper or silver, which make the alloy harder. Because you pay for the gold content, a gram of 22k is worth 8.3% less than a gram of 24k before making charges. Romania’s legal gold finenesses run from 333 to 999 thousandths, and jewellery carries an ANPC state mark, a responsibility mark and a fineness mark.
Why is the price at my jeweller different from the price on this page?
This page shows the international spot price converted into RON, with nothing added. A jeweller’s price adds 21% standard VAT on jewellery (investment gold is VAT-exempt), a dealer premium, making charges on jewellery and the shop’s own margin. Shops may also change their board only a few times a day, so on fast-moving days it can lag the live price in either direction. How big the gap is depends on the taxes and duties explained on this page: ask the shop to show the gold rate, the making charge and the tax separately.
Is it a good time to buy gold in Romania?
We cannot tell you that, and nobody can with certainty. The local price depends on two things that are both hard to forecast: the international gold price and the RON exchange rate. What you can do is compare today’s price with the 30-day chart and the 7-day table on this page, decide why you want gold (savings, a gift, a wedding, trading) and how long you plan to hold it, and avoid buying all at once if the timing worries you. This page is education, not financial advice.
Does the National Bank of Romania publish a gold price?
Yes. Its daily list of reference rates in lei includes gold under the code XAU, next to the currencies. It is a reference figure, not a shop price; jewellers and dealers set their own prices and add VAT and their margin.
Which gold finenesses are legal in Romania?
Nine: 333, 375, 500, 585, 750, 833, 900, 916 and 999 thousandths. Jewellery should carry a state mark applied by ANPC, a registered responsibility mark and a fineness mark.
