Fitch Ratings assessed Romania's political crisis as having limited near-term impact on public finances, noting strong fiscal performance with a 1% GDP deficit in Q1 2026. However, the agency warned that political uncertainty has reduced visibility on fiscal strategy for 2027–2028 and cautioned that delays in reform milestones could jeopardize EUR 7.3 billion in EU Recovery and Resilience Facility funds, critical support as Romania's economy contracted 1.7% year-on-year in early 2026.
