Standard & Poor’s explică de ce România a rămas la BBB-

Romania retains its investment-grade status with a 'BBB-' rating from S&P, but faces a negative outlook due to ongoing fiscal challenges. The Finance Minister emphasized the need for continued commitment to economic recovery and fiscal discipline. S&P noted that while fiscal consolidation and EU fund absorption are on track, significant risks remain for 2027-2028, including high current account deficits and political uncertainty. The agency warns that any deterioration in public finances could lead to a downgrade. The upcoming government must establish a credible budget framework to maintain investor confidence and ensure sustainable economic growth.
