Romania Frontière

Aperçu économique et sectoriel

Romania has a high-income, EU-member market economy that has achieved significant convergence toward European Union standards since joining in 2007, with per capita income rising from roughly 26% of the EU average in 2000 to approximately 78% by 2024. The economy is driven by energy (oil, gas, and electricity generation), manufacturing (automotive components, electrical machinery, chemicals), agriculture, and an expanding IT and services sector. The Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) is the largest exchange in Southeast Europe by market capitalization, with blue-chip companies concentrated in energy, utilities, and banking. Romania recorded the highest inflation rate in the EU in 2024, and faces structural challenges including an elevated fiscal deficit, skilled-labour emigration, and an ageing population. Romania became a full Schengen Area member in January 2025, enhancing its attractiveness for business and investment.
