Fiscal Council chief expects S&P to wait to see Romania’s new government, 2027 budget

Daniel Dăianu, head of the Romanian Fiscal Council, stated that he anticipates S&P Global Ratings will delay any potential sovereign rating downgrade for Romania. Dăianu suggests the agency will likely wait for the formation of the new government and the presentation of the 2027 budget before taking further action regarding the country's credit status.

The assessment centers on avoiding a downgrade that would move Romania into a non-investment grade category. By deferring its decision, the rating agency is expected to seek greater clarity on the nation's future fiscal policy and governance direction following upcoming political transitions.
