The Council, part of GPAC, brings together expertise developed at the highest levels of sectors that are essential to the Romanian economy, including energy and industry, banking and financial markets, advisory services and taxation, academia and public institutions, social research and European affairs. The complementarity of these perspectives will facilitate a deeper understanding of economic challenges which, further explored through CPAG’s research, will help identify innovative directions for the development of the Romanian economy.
The Council serves exclusively in an advisory capacity and on a voluntary basis, with no governance responsibilities and no involvement in the preparation of CPAG’s research outputs.
GPAC was founded in 2017 as an independent economic policy research and advisory think tank, CPAG has published research and analysis in areas including macroeconomic risks, productivity, competitiveness, economic convergence, international trade and Romania’s integration into European value chains, the energy transition, institutional stability and labour market challenges.
GPAC also collaborates with the European Institute of Romania and the Bucharest University of Economic Studies.
