Fitch has reconfirmed Romania's sovereign rating at BBB-/F3, but maintained its negative outlook due to a large fiscal deficit and rapidly rising public debt. The finance ministry says the decision reflects confidence in the government's measures, backed by its EU membership. Fitch forecasts modest economic growth and public debt that could reach 70% of GDP by 2029. Factors such as fiscal consolidation could improve the rating, while the lack of it could lead to a downgrade.
