The Social Democratic Party has withdrawn its court request to annul 11 government decisions, ending a legal standoff with the caretaker administration. The retreat comes as the government faces questions over its legitimacy and a difficult economic forecast.
Standard & Poor’s has kept the sovereign credit rating at the lowest possible investment grade, BBB-, with a negative outlook. The agency is waiting for a credible fiscal plan for 2027-2028; for now, the country remains one step above junk status. Simultaneously, official data shows that 5.1 million citizens are currently living and working across Europe.
New data on the "invisible poverty" of the lower middle class places the country at the bottom of a European ranking. While 1.4 million Romanians now live in the United Kingdom, infrastructure efforts continue at home with a new 3 MW gas-fired power plant due to open in Bucharest next week.
