OVERVIEW
- 31-Aug-2018 16:20 EDT
OVERVIEW
- Monetary policy has withstood political pressures. The Romanian central
bank has hiked rates to anchor inflation expectations and help defuse
overheating risks amid a booming economy spurred by an expansionary
fiscal environment. - Risks to institutional settings are building as political efforts to
interfere with the independence of the judiciary intensify. Such
interference could dismantle important checks and balances in a
corruption-prone environment and deter foreign investors. - We are affirming our 'BBB-/A-3' long- and short-term sovereign credit
ratings on Romania. - The outlook is stable.
