Alexandru Nazare, după decizia S&P de a reconfirma ratingul României la BBB-: "Nu este suficient"

Alexandru Nazare, the interim Minister of Finance, commented on S&P's reaffirmation of Romania's BBB- rating, stating that it is not enough. He emphasized the need for fiscal consolidation and a credible budget for 2027. S&P noted that despite political instability, Romania is on track for fiscal consolidation, but risks remain high due to external pressures and the need for a functioning government. The agency warned of potential downgrades if political deadlock continues, affecting fiscal policies and investor confidence. They project a current account deficit of 7.5% of GDP in 2026, with significant external financing needs. The political landscape remains unstable, complicating the implementation of necessary reforms.
