“On behalf of its members, U.S., Romanian EU and international companies, AmCham Romania rejects the recent allegations reflected in the public media according to which multinational companies in Romania have supported the public protests in response the to the impact of the recent tax and legislative changes. It is unhealthy for the Romanian society to disseminate such untrue statements. Romanian citizens working in both multinational and local companies have voluntarily expressed their point of view in public without any interference by their employer,” AmCham Romania said in a statement Thursday.
Amcham says that the human capital is one of the most valuable resources that Romania has, an important competitive advantage that has placed Romania on the global economy map, due to the high technical, linguistic and creativity competences that especially young generations have brought on the labor market and that had a defining role in attracting investments in the local economy.
The jobs offered by multinationals ensure a better life for hundred thousands of Romanian families, have a high contribution to the GDP, generously support social causes and open access to the wide expertize gained in international markets, thus contributing the to the overall progress of the Romanian economy.
AmCham representatives said that the collaboration between the local and foreign companies needs to be fostered as it is prerequisite for a functional and competitive economy, adding that the institution remains committed to its mission of facilitating an open and transparent public-private dialogue, a process that supports the shared objective of economic growth.
