Since 2005 Curierul Național has positioned itself as an economic newspaper and has switched to a new layout specific to this type of publication. The logo was changed from the original postcard to a simple logo, consisting of letters only, without any graphic elements.

Since issue 7576, published on February 16, 2018, Curierul Național has returned to the old logo, that has been restyled and used on all pages of the printed edition. The publication is also starting to revamp its editorial policy, publishing weekly interviews and materials with business people and employers' representatives from various industries.

Starting September 4, 2018, Curierul Național launched the new portal,^[3] an upgrade of the old version of the website. The print edition has been published continuously for over 30 years and has 12 pages, full color.

Curierul Național is the only Romanian publication that is a founding member of the Belt and Road Economic Information Partnership.
