Codirlasu (CFA Romania): We should expect a slight depreciation of the leu in the coming period

The Romanian leu may continue to depreciate against the euro due to inflation differences, but it is likely to maintain its investment-grade rating, according to Adrian Codirlasu from CFA Romania. The leu recently fell by 1.27%, reaching a new low against the euro. Codirlasu believes the risk of a downgrade exists but emphasizes the government's efforts in reducing the budget deficit could help retain the current rating. The upcoming S&P report will assess Romania's fiscal situation amid political uncertainties, with the country currently rated 'BBB-' with a negative outlook.
