Moody`s ar putea să nu arunce vineri România la „junk”. Avertismentul unui economist: ”Doar cumpărăm timp!” • Newsweek România

Romania awaits a crucial rating decision from Moody's on August 7, currently at Baa3 with a negative outlook. Economist Adrian Negrescu warns that the real challenge lies in maintaining investor confidence in fiscal reforms beyond political changes. A downgrade to junk status would increase financing costs, impacting the economy. Despite potential risks, Negrescu believes a downgrade is unlikely at this stage. The focus is shifting from fiscal deficits to institutional stability and the ability to sustain reforms. Fitch recently maintained Romania's rating but with a negative outlook, emphasizing the need for continued fiscal consolidation.
