The FIC board decided that this year’s agenda should focus on identifying measures for sustainable economic growth, with a focus on the environmental, social and governance components – known as ESG criteria.
“I believe FIC is one of the main representative business organizations in Romania with a high profile and proper expertise. I am honored but at the same time forced to maintain the level of professionalism and to continue to engage with policymakers to lay out the best policy solutions for a balanced comeback of economic growth. The opportunity that this economic recovery brings is reform, rebuilding the Romanian economy on a sustainable basis and preparing it for the digital era. Bearing in mind the vision for an improved business environment, we will channel our resources on how to support authorities in attracting additional foreign capital to high added value sectors, which will certainly crowd in other types of investments and clusters, particularly in the context of the twin transitions – green and digital, to provide recommendations and above all, to make sure that together we avoid the extension on of the health crisis by supporting the advance of the vaccination campaign in the coming months,” said Secosan, the recently elected president of the FIC.
“The last two years in the role of FIC president were a constant reminder for me that our actions and activities could help Romania progress and converge with the more developed EU member states. Each of our projects represented a fraction invested in this ongoing development of our country: we have elaborated and launched a new FDI report, we have organized the second edition of the project Leaders for Excellence in Healthcare (LEH) dedicated to the management of public hospitals in Romania, we have drafted recommendations on the National Plan for Recovery and Resilience and other proposals for a sustained and viable economic growth and we have also organized constant dialogues and meetings with authorities on some of the most outstanding issues – digitalization of the public sector, energy transition,” said Jurubita, former FIC president in 2019 – 2021.
FIC elects a new board every year in May and the board elects an executive team by end-June.
