Avertisment EY: Cu investiţiile străine directe în prăbușire de 77%, România e la un pas de „junk” • Newsweek România

Romania faces a potential downgrade to 'junk' status due to a 77% drop in foreign direct investments, risking higher borrowing costs and economic instability. The S&P Global Ratings will evaluate the country's sovereign rating on October 2, with current ratings at BBB-/A-3 and a negative outlook. A downgrade could lead to significant consequences, including restricted investor access and increased interest rates. The country is also grappling with a rising current account deficit and high public debt projections, necessitating fiscal adjustments and improved tax collection to stabilize the economy.
