Abstract

In the context of the market economy, foreign direct investments make an important contribution to economic growth. For Romania, foreign direct investments had a crucial importance both during the transition period and in the period following the achievement of the functional market economy status. Although the foreign direct investment (FDI) stocks represent an important share of Romania's GDP, in the competition with the other former socialist countries which have joined the European Union, our country is situated below the level recorded by this indicator in all the 11 states analyzed. Given the positive effects generated by the FDI stocks, Romania still needs the contribution of foreign investors in order to evolve. The aim pursued in elaborating this paper was to highlight the positive impact of the flow of foreign direct investments on the economic growth in Romania and implicitly to emphasize the role that foreign investors can continue to play in the economic development of our country.
