The eastern European country is estimated to post economic growth of around 1.5% in 2011, after two consecutive years of sharp decline.

"I'm pretty confident that Romania will have a positive growth. I'm not sure it will be 1.5% (…), but more than zero is a pretty safe bet," Jeffrey Franks, IMF mission chief to Romania told MEDIAFAX.
