SURSE: Desemnarea premierului nu va avea loc astăzi. Guvernul ar urma să fie instalat înainte de raportul agenției de rating Standard&Poor's

The designation of the new Romanian Prime Minister will not occur on Monday, as further official consultations are expected before the announcement. The government formation timeline aims for a new executive to be in place before the upcoming Standard & Poor's rating report on October 2. The president seeks to have the parliamentary vote completed prior to this report, which will assess Romania's financial situation. Current sovereign ratings are at the edge of the investment grade category, increasing pressure on authorities to address budget deficits. Two formal candidates for Prime Minister are Sorin Grindeanu and Siegfried Mureșan, with other names also being discussed.
