Fitch: România riscă retrogradarea la „junk” dacă criza politică se prelungește

Fitch Ratings warns that Romania risks losing its investment-grade rating due to ongoing political instability and the lack of a credible fiscal plan. The agency will reassess Romania's rating in January 2027. Analyst Malgorzata Krzywicka emphasizes that the government's ability to reduce the budget deficit is crucial for maintaining the rating. Recent political developments have worsened the situation, with failed attempts to form a stable government. A new prime minister nominee, Siegfried Mureșan, faces challenges in securing parliamentary support. Fitch notes that Romania needs significant fiscal adjustments to stabilize public debt and improve tax collection. The economic outlook remains weak, with high inflation and modest growth expected.
