Last year, foreign direct investment (FDI) rose by 26.8% year on year to 2.71 billion euros, reaching the top of the last four years after the first assessment in 2012 was recorded at the beginning of the crisis.

Romania does show better and better financial results in most important sectors and the advice to invest in the country is given by the most trustworthy sources, such as UK's ambassador in Bucharest. Mr. Martin Harris, said the annual growth rate of trade of UK with Romania is 16%, one of the sectors raising the most interest being the IT sector, but in his excellence's opinion there are many other sectors that are not sufficiently known by the British business people.
Mr. Harris pointed out that in Romania there is a strong interest of British investors for IT, which is a "strategic and very impressive."
"It's an area that has grown very quickly in these four years and where we have many British companies that employed hundreds of people in Iasi, Cluj, Bucharest, because here in Romania there is a skilled labor force and the fact Romania has become a factory of websites for other European firms. Romanian IT companies make web sites for banks in the City of London, for football clubs in the Premier League. In a digital single market, Romania has an advantage very important.I'm convinced that British investors will continue to be involved in this area, "said Harris.
