Romania becomes an environment increasingly favorable to foreign investment due to economic stability. That sounds in unison both from the Cotroceni Palace and the Government. The president and the prime minister wanted to convey this message to the most reliable partner of Romania, USA, during the visit of Vice-President Joe Biden.
Looking at the figures of the U.S. investment in our country, we could hardly say that salvation comes from the Americans. According to data published by the National Trade Register at the end of last year, the cumulative U.S. investment in Romania amounted 900 million euros, or 2.4 percent of total FDI.
Americans want to do business in the energy field, but they are interested in other areas.
In addition to Ford Craiova recently, in Roman, the first airbags factory was opened, following an investment of over 25 million euros, the Americans at TRW have over 4,000 employees countrywide.
Recently, in Ploiesti, the Lufkin company opened a factory producing electricity transmission equipment, 80% of its production is intended for export. The investment amounts to € 100 million and it has created over 300 jobs. According to officials, we should hear such news more often from now on.
Invited to the Thursday edition of the “Daily Income" show, Romanian businessman Ilan Laufer, spoke about the increasing interest of the United States towards the countries in this area of Europe, that Romania is part of.
