26, 2007) - Rotary International today announced a partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that will inject a much-needed US$200 million into the global campaign to eradicate polio, a crippling and sometimes fatal disease that still paralyzes children in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and threatens children everywhere. Only two percent of Romanians thought that terrorism was a threat.Rotary International and Gates Foundation together commit $200 million to eradicate polio - Press ReleaseĮVANSTON, Ill., U.S.A. Most respondents to a recent survey (see below) in Romania considered that the country’s biggest problem in 2022 was the health system, followed by the country’s economic situation. It takes 20 days to start a business in Romania, compared to the regional average of 9.0 days. In the first two months, the domestic deficit was only 0.7 percent. When compared to the same period last year, the external deficit climbed by roughly 56% in the first two months of this year (in the conditions of a trade deficit increasing by 65 percent ). Before beginning the correction / drop phase, we may experience a shock this quarter (12-15 percent inflation). The natural reaction of monetary policy in the current global inflationary framework (inflation has not just increased in Romania) can only be restrictive, and the channel through which the economic stimulus is to be given remains the fiscal-budgetary one.ĭespite most estimates, price dynamics entered the double digits (exceeded 10%) as early as the first quarter.
The past month has seen the highest volatility in the currency market in years, similar to levels since the beginning of the pandemic. The conflict in Ukraine is impacting the way Romanian companies, especially those involved in international trade, do business during this period.

This creates trade inefficiencies due to higher transaction costs and exchange rate fluctuations. However, many companies and consumers have debt denominated in euros, and most big-ticket consumer items (i.e., real estate, cars, and major appliances) are priced in euros. Romania is not a member of the “Euro Zone”, so payments are made in local currency – the New Romanian Lei (RON).

The country’s connections to the rest of the EU’s transportation infrastructure are still underdeveloped, which holds back the country’s ability to realize its full potential for new investment, trade, and tourism. Romania’s poor infrastructure continues to negatively impact business costs, productivity, public safety, and the country’s ability to attract foreign investment. While some progress has been made since joining the EU in 2007, companies in Romania still report challenges regarding the independence and efficiency of the judicial system, corruption, bureaucracy, and political instability. Despite pleas from the international finance and business community, state-owned enterprises in the country do not regularly utilize private management. State-owned enterprises shape many industries, acting as dominant customers, suppliers, or, in some cases, competitors.
