Romania's PSD reaffirms opposition to selling profitable state firms, aligns with new government program

Romania's Social Democratic Party (PSD) clarified it still opposes selling profitable or strategic state-owned companies, but remains open to investor participation in struggling firms. This aligns with the 2026-2028 Government Program submitted by PM-designate Luca Niculescu, which rules out sales of profitable strategic assets under budgetary pressure without proper evaluation. The clarification signals policy continuity amid government formation, with potential implications for state asset management and investor sentiment.
