This paper tests the Fisher effect in the case of Romanian stock market. According to the Fisher effect, the expected nominal return on stocks move in one to one correspondence with the expected rate of inflation. The relationship between nominal stock return and inflation is examined for four stock indices. The empirical results suggest that the Fisher effect holds mainly for the index that reflects the price movements of the most ten liquid companies listed on the Romanian stock market and for the investment fund index.
