Romanian companies should be encouraged to expand at regional level, and the examples from the IT, auto and energy fields demonstrate the potential for development of local businesses, states a message by Prime Minister Viorica Dăncilă, presented by Deputy Prime Minister Ana Birchal during an economic forum hosted at the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest. Message also underlines that the Romanian Government will continue to work to reduce tax and bureaucratic barriers, as well as to carry out public investments.

Ana Birchal: Public investment increased more than half in the first six months of the year, compared to the same period in 2017. After the first six months since Dăncilă Cabinet took office, public investments reached 9.1 billion lei. Foreign direct investment: first semester 2016 - 1.33 billion euros, first semester 2018: 2.21 billion euros – message states, according to RRA Reporter Iulian Olescu.
