The indices at the Bucharest Stock Exchange closed 2% higher today, while financial investment companies jumped 3%, as investors expect rating agency to lift Romania’s rating once the Government passes budget plan and IMF disburses due tranches.

“I believe there are two reasons that lifted stocks today. The first would be that S&P is likely to revise Romania’s rating outlook upward, if the budget plan gets Government’s OK and IMF unlocks the loan tranches. Second, the fact that many investors reaped profits last year in a bid to dodge this year’s profit tax, and now, they’re back on the buying side”, Gabriel Neculea, broker at Prime Transaction told NewsIn.
