România află astăzi dacă este retrogradată la „junk” de S&P. Reuters: Criza politică pune presiune pe ratingul de țară

Romania's failure to form a new government has heightened pressure on its country rating amid a five-month political crisis and rising public debt. The recent parliamentary vote against the designated Prime Minister Siegfried Mureșan has exacerbated the situation, leading to record lows for the leu and increased bond yields. S&P Global is set to review Romania's rating, currently at the lowest level with a negative outlook. Analysts warn that political instability could hinder fiscal consolidation efforts, potentially triggering a downgrade. The central bank has raised concerns about the rapid accumulation of debt, which has outpaced pre-pandemic growth rates. Despite some progress in reducing the budget deficit, ongoing political dysfunction may overshadow these improvements, increasing the risk of a downgrade and forced sales of bonds.
