 Seminar Options

 

Banking and Finance

 

The Romanian banking system has undergone major restructuring during its transition toward a market economy. Indeed, since the end of Communism the sector has witnessed a remarkable revolution both in terms of reform and growth. With January's accession to the EU market a new benchmark has been established for its future revolution. 

 

Construction

 

The Romanian construction and real estate market is booming. The main drivers of this boom are the flourishing economy, state infrastructure spending and private sector expansion. Recent surveys suggest that investments in the sector could become amongst the most profitable in Europe, if not the world.

 

ICT

 

The ICT sector is probably the most dynamic component of the Romanian economy and is receiving priority attention from the government. Over the past 15 years it has experienced impressive growth offering the country the latest technologies in most branches of telecommunications.

 

Transport Infrastructure

 

Even though there has been a noteworthy improvement in the transport infrastructure of Romania, the institutional reform of the sector represents a key challenge for the government. It represents a key challenge with respect to the convergence and integration within the EU member states.

 

Information Technology

 

The Romanian hardware market expanded by over 26 per cent last year, one of the highest growth rates within the Central Eastern European region. Expenditure on servers, PC’s and PC-related technologies increased significantly in all market segments exceeding £250 million last year alone.

 

Tourism

 

Romania has everything from awe inspiring mountain ranges to the splendour of the Black Sea coast. Visitors to the country can ski or sunbathe. Romania has all the existing ammunition in order to escalate it into the global travel industry. Government spending is on the increase and the market represents major potentials to the foreign investor.  

 

Manufacturing

 

An increasing number of foreign companies have decided to manufacture auto parts for Romanian cars. This reflects the latest trend in the automotive industry whose growth has shifted from the mature markets to emerging markets.
