The Report contains an assessment of main policy areas impacting doing business in Romania as well as a set of recommendations based on the assessment, statistical analysis and perception survey among leading CEOs of large companies and SMEs in Romania. The report is drawn upon a methodology used by other AmChams in Europe in elaborating similar reports.
“The report is not meant as a ranking exercise, which is relative in time and can be misleading. Although it does make comparisons, the report does so in order to understand better how Romania’s performance varies from its fellow European economies. It identifies the areas of possible advantage or disadvantage while warning that the advantages are only as good as the policies that generate them” stated Alexandra Gatej, AmCham Romania President.
The Romanian Competitiveness Report looks at six main following policy areas: general competitiveness indicators, public administration, legal framework, human resources, physical infrastructure, financial & monetary. The report’s overall indicators reveal 25 competitive advantages for Romania, 49 disadvantages and 22 neutral indicators, an outcome indicating that the country needs to improve its performance.
