Principalele îngrijorări ale S&P privind România

S&P Global Ratings has maintained Romania's BBB- rating with a negative outlook, citing prolonged political deadlock and external vulnerabilities as risks to fiscal consolidation. The agency forecasts a 0.5% contraction in Romania's economy in 2026, with rising public debt and interest expenses projected to reach nearly 10% of government revenues by 2028. S&P emphasizes the need for a functional government to implement a credible economic framework, warning that ongoing political instability could hinder budgetary measures and lead to increased fiscal deficits. The agency also highlights concerns over high current account deficits and the impact of inflation on economic growth, while noting that EU funds and foreign investments are crucial for financing needs.
