Italian direct investments in Romania: a growing economic partnership

Foreign direct investment (FDI) remains a topic of continuous interest for any country, as it can ensure economic recovery during times of crisis by providing a reliable financial source. Italian FDI is of particular interest due to Italy's significant commercial presence in Romania. Italian companies are active in virtually every sector, with a notable focus on manufacturing, agro-industry, energy, and high-tech. The objective of this report is to highlight the context and impact of FDI on Romania from both economic and social perspectives, and to track the evolution of financial results and reporting practices of these companies. The original contributions of this research are significant in the current context, as the topic of FDI is not sufficiently discussed, despite its numerous benefits for the local economy. By succinctly outlining the advantages of foreign investors' presence in Romania, current economic directions, and the reporting methods of Italian-capital companies, this report fills certain informational gaps previously existing on this subject.
