The construction of an Aggregate Financial Stability Index represents one of the methods used for assessing the level and dynamics of financial sector stability. We have developed a stability index for the Romanian Financial Sector in order to appraise its financial soundness in the eve of euro adoption. Our results show a positive trend of the aggregate index during 1998-2006, as well as its recent volatility reduction. Even if at present the stability level is not sufficient for joining the Eurozone, the continuous financial development increase will significantly contribute to euro adoption in the near future.
