BREAKING. Fitch menține ratingul României la BBB-, cu perspectivă negativă. Agenția de rating estimează inflație medie de 7,6% în 2026, față de 6,8% în 2025 – Aleph News

Fitch Ratings has maintained Romania's country rating at BBB- with a negative outlook, citing deteriorating public finances and increased political uncertainty. The agency forecasts public debt to rise to 64.5% of GDP by 2028, influenced by high fiscal deficits and a fragmented political landscape. Despite some fiscal consolidation measures, significant risks remain due to potential political blockages and the need for further reforms. The economic outlook is also concerning, with a projected contraction of 0.6% in 2026 and persistent high inflation. A downgrade could occur if fiscal measures are not implemented, while a stable outlook may be possible with consistent fiscal progress.
