> Romania has raised about $604 million from thousands of individual investors since the start of 2025 through a program that offers blood donors government bonds yielding more than 7% annually—about one percentage point above the rate available to other retail investors. The scheme supports government borrowing while encouraging donations. Individual investors now provide nearly a fifth of Romania’s government financing.
