Economic growth — Romanian’s Gross Domestic Product went up by 5.8% in the first half of the year as against the same period of 2016, Romania’s National Statistic Institute has announced. All economic sectors have contributed to the growth, except for constructions. Industry, trade, transportation, tourism and the IT&C sectors have contributed most to the growth. According to Romanian PM Mihai Tudose, the 5.8% economic growth rate, the biggest in Europe, is the best indicator of how the country’s real economy stands.




North Korea – The UN Security Council is this week discussing a resolution in response to North Korea’s having conducted a nuclear test at the end of last week, its sixth so far. North Korea said its test of what it described as a hydrogen bomb designed for a long-range missile was “a perfect success.” The UN Security Council strongly condemned North Koreas “outrageous” test, saying is “deliberately undermining regional peace and stability”. US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was “begging for war” as she urged the UN Security Council to adopt the strongest sanctions possible to stop Pyongyangs nuclear program. Speaking at a Security Council emergency meeting, Nikki Haley said North Koreas sixth nuclear test was a clear sign that “the time for half measures” from the UN had to end. The Council will take a decision on Monday.




Enescu Festival — The “George Enescu” International Festival, one of the most prestigious music events in Europe, continues in Bucharest. The Russian National Orchestra is today holding a concert as part of the Great Orchestras of the World series. Also today, soloist Madalina Pasol is performing alongside Radio Romania’s Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of Tiberiu Oprea. For 3 weeks, 80 concerts and other events will bring more than 3,000 of the best international artists to Bucharest and 7 other major Romanian cities. Radio Romania is the only media institution in the country to broadcast the concerts live, on its channels Radio Romania Music and Radio Romania Culture. First organised in 1958, 3 years after the famed Romanian composer had died, the George Enescu Festival was discontinued in 1971 by the communist regime, and was resumed in 1989. It has been held every 2 years ever since.




US Open — Romania only has one player left at US Open, the last grand slam of the year. Horia Tecau is today playing in the quarterfinals in both the men’s doubles alongside Jean Julien Rojer and in the mixed doubles alongside the American Coco Vandeweghe. On Monday Romanian Monica Niculescu and Wei Hsieh of Taiwan failed to qualify to the women’s doubles quarterfinals.




Football –Romania’s national football team was defeated by Montenegro on Monday 1-0 in Podgorica, in Group E of the World Cup qualifiers, losing any chance to qualify to the final tournament in Russia. Romania ranks fourth in the group, after Poland, Denmark and Montenegro. Romania’s next fixture against Kazakhstan will be held on home turf in the town of Ploiesti on October 5th while the one against Denmark will be held on November 8th in Copenhagen. The manager of the Romanian national team, the German Christoph Daum, has been strongly criticised for the team’s poor results.
