Over the course of 3 days, officials, experts, investors and leaders will jointly analyse Romania’s outlook as an attractive environment for foreign investors as well as propose courses of action to achieve further economic development for companies already doing business here.
Romania’s business scene has improved drastically in the past few years, with a rank of 37th worldwide on the aggregate ease of doing business index, according to the World Bank’s Doing Business Report 2015-2016. The Romanian FDI stock has also increased constantly during the last 16 years, from EUR 9.7 billion to EUR 63 billion at the end of 2015, with the highest shares directed towards sectors such as manufacturing, energy, financial services and IT.
