The agency’s overnight announcement confirmed the country's financial stability, a point Dan emphasized in his statement. He acknowledged both the hardships and anxieties felt by Romanian citizens, expressing understanding. While details of the Fitch report weren't fully provided, Dan welcomed the confirmation of financial stability. Maintaining a rating above junk status is crucial for attracting foreign investment. This decision avoids a potential downgrade that would have significantly impacted investor confidence. The mayor’s statement aimed to reassure the public amid ongoing economic challenges.
