The relatively high return from such investments, the political stability in the country and its European membership offers very good opportunities for successful investments.
Additionally the Romanian government encourages foreign investments and therefore investors are granted certain motives, including permit to repatriate their capital and profits, provided certain procedures are followed.
Recently studies made by IMF about Bucharest expansion, conclude that the Romanian Capital will experience a tremendous expansion in the next 10 years and its population will reach 5 million (presently the population of Bucharest is 2.35 million people).
Based on this, the authorities of the country have, in the city expansion plans, extended the boundaries of the Capital to an average radius of 30-35 km from the centre.
When considering Romania as a possible location for developing your business, you might benefit from the advantages:
One of the largest markets in Central and Eastern Europe (over 21 million inhabitants). These are tremendous potentials for expansion (in terms of population and economic activity) in the area of Bucharest, where the present population is only 10% of the country population.
Attractive location: allowing an easy access to the former CIS countries, Balkans, the Middle East, at the junction of three prospective European transportation corridors.
An important potential for tourism.
Bilateral agreements between Romania and other countries for investments promotion and protection.
Sustainable economic growth.
Functional Market Economy status.
Decreasing inflation.
Increasing interest of Foreign Investors.
The presence of branch offices and representatives of various well- known international banks.
A newly developed highway infrastructure.
Legislation compatible with Acquis Communitaire.
Similar legal provisions as in EU.
Healthy fiscal policy regulated by the Fiscal Code.
Competitive tax policy: 16% flat tax, but this can be further reduced if an efficient tax planning is made, e.g. by using Cyprus as the basis of a holding Company.
