Romanians have the least trust in bankers globally, according to the conclusions of a survey conducted by the global platform Ipsos in 31 countries on its Global Advisor online platform. Only 11% of Romanians say they trust bankers, while 57% say they don't.

Romanians don't particularly trust the opinion polls, either (37% confidence).
