The CCE-R chairman: Romania was recommended to the investors by all rating agencies, with a stable perspectives economy
Romania was recommended to the investors in 2016 by all rating agencies for having a stable perspective economy, supported the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Romania (CCE-R) Irina Bolomey at an event dedicated to the commercial relations between Romania and Switzerland, organised in Bucharest.
‘It is a step forward for Romania, this thing is due to several factors, among which the growth of GDP in one of the highest ways in Europe, the IMF estimates being as good for 2016, 4.2% respectively and 3.8% in 2017. Starting with 2012 and up to 2016 Romania is one of the few European countries which observed the requirement of the Maastricht agreement to keep its budgetary deficit under 3% of the GDP’ said Bolomey.
