„E-commerce can develop based on a solid digital infrastructure and with a population with solid digital knowledge. The good news is that there are favourable growth perspectives in both directions, which makes one expect the e-commerce to double by 2020. Buying online means saving time and money and finding a wider range of better products and services one can access directly from home,” Florinel Chis, executive director of the Association of Romanian Online Stores said on Wednesday.
Romania holds the biggest share of internet subscriptions in the European Union and the use of mobile broadband services achieves accelerated growth, according to the intermediary report regarding the digital sector in the EU (EDPR), which was recently released by the European Commission.
According to the report, Romania boasts low internet access costs and high speed, but sustained efforts are needed to reach as high coverage as possible countrywide.
