A key advisor to Romania’s interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan warned Monday that the country still faces a significant risk of being downgraded to “junk” status. This warning comes despite Fitch Ratings recently deciding to maintain Romania's sovereign credit rating at “BBB-”. Ionuț Dumitru, the advisor, highlighted the upcoming announcement from Moody’s as a cause for concern, noting the agency is generally perceived as more critical in its assessments. The potential downgrade could negatively impact investor confidence and increase borrowing costs for the nation. The situation remains precarious as Romania awaits Moody’s evaluation. Dumitru's statement underscores continued economic vulnerabilities despite the Fitch decision. The government is closely monitoring the situation ahead of further ratings assessments.
