The Ministry of Finance is preparing for the Moody's evaluation, after maintaining the rating from Fitch.

The Ministry of Finance, led by Alexandru Nazare, is intensively preparing for the upcoming rating evaluation of Romania by Moody's, after Fitch maintained the sovereign rating at 'BBB minus' with a negative outlook. Nazare emphasizes that the stakes are not only to maintain the rating but also to regain a stable outlook, which depends on political stability and budgetary credibility.

He highlighted the importance of a credible fiscal-budgetary plan for 2027, based on predictable and disciplined measures. He also mentioned the reduction of the budget deficit in the first 6 months of the year as a positive outcome.

Nazare called for the support of political leaders to maintain a coherent message of fiscal-budgetary responsibility. Fitch warned that the negative outlook reflects the deterioration of public finances, despite consolidation measures.
