Bursa, în alertă: BET pierde peste 10%, iar teama de retrogradarea României lovește puternic investitorii acum • Newsweek România

The BET index has dropped over 10% from its historical peak in August, raising concerns among investors about Romania's sovereign rating. Remus Vulpescu, CEO of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, emphasized that the real threat to the economy is not market volatility but the potential loss of the sovereign rating, which could hinder recovery for years. Despite the recent correction, the market remains over 25% higher than at the beginning of the year. Vulpescu noted that many new investors are feeling the impact of this correction for the first time, and highlighted the need for stable regulations to maintain investment grade. Global economic pressures, including rising oil prices and increased interest rates, are contributing to market uncertainties.
