This is the only survey on the media market describing the situation of the Romanian private capital as Romania’s central bank and the National Statistics Institute only publish surveys on the situation and impact of foreign investment in the economy every year.
The share of private Romanian companies in the total revenue of all companies active on the local market stood at 47% in 2015 compared with 49% (foreign companies). State-run companies account for the remaining 4% or RON47 billion. The percentages were similar to 2014, while the revenue of Romanian, foreign and state-run companies rose by 8%.
The companies in Romania posted RON1,178 billion (EUR260 billion) revenue in 2015. The country’s gross domestic product stood at EUR158 billion and the difference stems from intermediate consumption.
Romanian and foreign private companies have about the same contribution to the total revenue but the number of Romanian companies is ten times greater than the number of foreign companies, 433,000 to 37,000.
Romanian private companies account for more than 50% of the construction, agriculture, restaurant and hotel, private healthcare services, transportation, food industry, retail and wholesale trade, architecture, furniture and accounting services businesses. (EUR1=RON4.5071)
