Siegfried Mureșan: „Niciun stat membru al UE nu a fost retrogradat la junk de mai bine de 10 ani”

Siegfried Mureșan highlighted the importance of Romania maintaining its credit rating, warning that a downgrade could lead to economic difficulties. He noted that no EU member has been downgraded to 'junk' status in over a decade, citing past examples during economic crises. Despite Standard & Poor's maintaining Romania's rating at 'BBB-', the outlook remains negative, indicating potential risks. Mureșan emphasized that a downgrade would directly impact citizens through higher interest rates and fewer investments. The future government must ensure fiscal discipline to avoid jeopardizing the country's financial stability.
