The government should focus on ensuring sustainable economic growth, they said after a meeting with Finance Minister Daniel Chitoiu.
“Romania could use its many competitive advantages to obtain bigger growth rates, which, in turn, would attract more investments,” the Council said in a statement.
Romania’s economy increased by a meager 0.3% in 2012, from a growth of 2.2% a year earlier, held back by falling exports and a weak agriculture harvest. The country was hit hard by the global economic and financial crisis in 2009, when the economy declined 7.1% after having expanded at an annualized pace of over 7% in the previous years.
