Foreign Investors Council supports the pro-European direction for Romania’s economic development

The Foreign Investors Council (FIC) emphasizes the importance of predictable economic policies to ensure a stable and attractive business environment. FIC considers Romania’s membership in international organizations such as the EU, NATO, and OECD as fundamental. Equally important are ensuring free market principles, protecting the rule of law and private property, securing access to EU funds, and establishing consistent economic policies.

FIC strongly supports Romania’s integration into the European community and the Euro-Atlantic partnership, considering them essential for continued economic development and for ensuring the country’s security. Membership in the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) gives Romania access to large markets, strategic resources, and partnerships that contribute to economic growth and regional stability.

Moreover, EU membership and alignment with the standards of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guarantee a free-market economy based on competition and innovation, encouraging private initiative. At the same time, private property is a fundamental right, protected by law regardless of ownership. The business environment must support entrepreneurs and investors by offering equal opportunities and fair conditions for all economic players.

FIC reiterates the need for a medium- and long-term economic vision focused on stimulating growth, responsible public finance management, and ensuring a fair and predictable fiscal framework. Romania must be a stable partner with a sustainable economic strategy developed through genuine consultation with the business community. A prosperous economic environment is necessary to support contributions to the state budget and, ultimately, the well-being of citizens.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a significant role in Romania’s economic growth by injecting capital into various sectors. These investments not only bring financial resources but also create jobs, offering employment opportunities for over one million Romanians. Companies investing in Romania also contribute to the development of local suppliers, thus opening new opportunities for exports and international collaboration. This integration is essential for sustainable economic growth and for strengthening Romania’s position on the global economic stage.
