Romania is in talks with the International Monetary Fund to secure financial aid.
Bucharest is yet to admit to having approached the agency, although a Romanian delegation is reportedly in Washington for discussions.
After a meeting with his Romanian counterpart Cristian Diaconescu in Berlin, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Tuesday that Romania is holding talks with the IMF over additional loans.
The IMF led a rescue plan for Hungary and Latvia last year.
