President Nicusor Dan said on Thursday that Romania must convince investors that it respects its commitments and that it will reduce deficits.

Asked on Antena 1 TV station how the discussion with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Layen, was, and how he saw the reforms, everything that is happening, he indicated that there are two discussions on this topic.

„We have two discussions: we have a discussion with the European Commission and we have a much more important discussion with investors, which is mediated by the rating agencies. And that is where the real discussion is, because, legitimately, the rating agencies advise investors to invest or not to invest in a country, right? And we have to convince them that Romania respects its commitments, that it will reduce its deficits, that if they invest in Romania’s public debt, they are not exposed. This is the big discussion. The Commission is trying to help us in the discussion with the rating agencies and with investors”, the president said.
