Professor Dan Voiculescu writes on his blog a mobilizing message for the Romanian National Day. We deserve more, he says, referring to the citizens standard of living and the economy of Romania.
Dan Voiculescu quotes data from the World Competitiveness Center Yearbook and the National Strategy for Competitiveness which, extrapolated, show a worrying situation for our country.
1. In 2015,the Romanian exports share in the world exports accounts for only 0.35% (in 1948 it stood at 0.28% and in 1970 at 0.60%)
2. In 2015, in terms of productivity and efficiency Romania was last in a survey conducted in 60 countries.
3. Ironically, in terms of prices we are in 9th place while in terms of the standard of living, on 59, according to the same survey conducted in 60 countries.
4. Romania is rated 50 in the index of attitude and value
To conclude, professor Dan Voiculescu argues that Romanians deserve more than that.
