AHK said in a statement that the planned measures might reduce jobs and investments on the medium term, which will subsequently lead to exodus of skilled workers, a situation that already affects Romania.
AHK said it repeatedly pointed out that predictability, stability, transparency and the rule of law are very important for planning new investments and reaching successful economic activities. It also said not only German companies need legislative stability and a stable economic environment to further invest and create jobs.
Some 7,500 German companies operate in Romania and have created many jobs locally over the years.
Germany, through commercial exchanges of over EUR26 billion (over 20% of Romania’s foreign trade), is Romania’s main commercial and economic partner.
AHK Romania is the official representative of the German economy and also the biggest bilateral Chamber of Commerce in Romania. Established in 2002, AHK Romania currently has over 550 member firms.
