Abstract: About Recent Dynamics of the Foreign Direct Investments in Romania. The present paper surveys the dynamics of the foreign investments in Romania. The main difficulty here is to identify the comparative and credible data, endorsed by the journals of some responsible institutions in the field, as well. According to the UNCTAB latest reports, in the recent years, Romania has become the second best destination for foreign investments – after Poland – in Central and South-Eastern Europe (Turkey was left aside). The dynamics of the foreign investments, analyzed on the basis of the data offered by the monthly Syntheses of the National Office for Trade Register, is shown by the variograms performed on a monthly-, quarterly-, and yearly-basis, respectively, between January 2004 and October 2009. The spectacular increase of the foreign investments is obvious following Romania’s accession to NATO (2004) and its integration into EU (2007). Between 2007 and 2009, the most important investors came from Germany, followed by those from the Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic, France, and Switzerland. With the penetration of the great foreign companies and the increase of the autochthonous entrepreneurial spirit, the foreign investments from the Near and Middle East have diminished – the greatest majority of the existing ones focus on whole sales and retail trade. However, because of the indecisive dynamics of the world economy, we cannot extrapolate future developments of the dynamics of the foreign investments. Keywords: transition, foreign direct investments, investments dynamics, Romania. |
