BREAKING Standard & Poor's menține ratingul de țară al României la nivelul BBB-, dar păstrează perspectiva negativă

Standard & Poor’s has reaffirmed Romania's sovereign credit rating at 'BBB-', maintaining a negative outlook due to ongoing budgetary pressures and reform uncertainties. This decision aligns with ratings from Fitch and Moody's, allowing Romania to avoid a speculative rating. The agency highlights risks related to fiscal consolidation and external financing needs, warning that failure to implement proposed reforms could lead to a downgrade. Despite political instability, Romania's fiscal consolidation efforts and EU fund absorption are on track, but a prolonged deadlock could jeopardize future economic stability.
