România scapă de „junk”, dar rămâne pe muchie. S&P păstrează ratingul țării. Ce riscuri vede agenția? • Newsweek România

Romania maintains its investment-grade rating at BBB- from S&P, avoiding junk status for now. However, the outlook remains negative due to ongoing risks in public finance consolidation and external deficits. S&P emphasizes the need for a stable government to implement a credible budget framework by 2027-2028. The agency forecasts a decrease in the government deficit, but warns that prolonged political instability could jeopardize fiscal progress. Additionally, potential energy market issues could impact inflation and economic growth, further straining public finances. A credible medium-term policy plan could improve the outlook to stable.
