S&P Global Ratings estimează pentru România creștere economică zero în 2026 și deficit de 6,3%

Romania faces significant macroeconomic imbalances, with S&P Global Ratings highlighting fiscal consolidation and EU fund access as key focus areas. The country holds a BBB-/A-3 rating with a negative outlook, and is projected to have zero economic growth in 2026. S&P forecasts a current account deficit of 7.2% of GDP and a budget deficit of 6.3% for this year. Inflation is expected to average 7.5%, the highest in the region. The agency warns of external risks from energy price shocks and emphasizes the importance of EU funds for economic recovery. Political space for fiscal consolidation is limited, and upcoming budget plans will be crucial for Romania's credit profile.
