As part of our ongoing dialogue with members of the new Government, on July 30,  at AmCham Romania, we welcomed the Minister of Energy, Bogdan Ivan, for a strategic exchange on the Government’s energy agenda and AmCham’s priorities in this essential sector. He was joined by the President of the Romanian Digitalization Authority, Dragos-Cristian Vlad, and by the Minister Advisor, Dorin Pena.

Our dialogue focused on immediate policy actions, medium-term reforms, and long-term opportunities for Romania to strengthen its energy sector and investment attractiveness.

• Maximizing the absorption of EU funds
• Enhancing corporate governance and advancing digitalization in state-owned entities
• Coordinating state aid instruments in the energy field
