“We mark the end of a difficult mandate with numerous challenges at the national and international level, but we can also sum up several achievements, such as the organization of the Forum on Investments in partnership with the Romanian Government, through which we opened the direct dialog between investors and authorities. Moreover, this year we are launching the updated edition of the Va Urma project, which is a model through which we propose that the economy can grow 4.5 times in the next two decades. Taking into consideration the budgetary challenges, this year’s Va Urma edition highlights the multiple advantages of combining private and public investment together with measures aiming to: stimulate digitization and innovation; improve institutional capacity and state–owned companies; protect human capital by facilitating access to jobs, education, and health; and transform the energy mix in the directions set by the European Green Deal and develop energy infrastructure,” stated Cristian Secosan.
FIC also said it will continue to address strategic themes for the Romanian economy and provide recommendations for medium and long–term measures aligned with the European good practices, but at the same time, it is ready to formulate position papers based on the expertise and practical knowledge of experts from the member companies and to react in an agile manner to the current challenges.
The FIC Board of Directors maintains on the agenda the fundamental themes for Romania’s development: attracting investments, stability and predictability of the fiscal regime, strengthening the resilience of the energy sector, implementing sustainable measures in business plans, environmental protection, ensuring the population’s welfare and health, technological development, and implementing digital processes.
FIC elects a new board every year in May and the board elects an executive team by end-June.
