Abstract: Nearly eighty years ago, the Great Depression had a powerful impact not only on the world economy, but also on the social and political structures at international level by establishing new economic rules and relations, novel ideologies, and a different line of thinking. In Romania, the crisis made itself felt with a time lag, and had specific features combining the general issues with the local ones, which were typical of the weaknesses the domestic economy was mired in. This paper is aimed at showing how Romania was affected by the economic crisis that brought a plethora of events in its tail. It focuses particularly on the role played by the National Bank of Romania in its capacity as an issuing house. In order to provide a multifaceted image of the crisis, the introductory part of the present paper deals with an overview of the developments in the Romanian economy in the course of the first inter-war decade.
