Romania should focus on IT, textiles and farming

The sectors Romania should focus on in order to develop foreign trade are the information technology, the light industry and ecological farming, a report by the UNCTAD’s International Trade Center shows. The survey, titled “Romania’s foreign trade – opportunities and challenges” was presented by the Romanian Centre for Foreign Trade on Wednesday. The report warns about the fact that the companies whose business is centred on export or those that have the potential to develop in this regard still need assistance to get full access to all the necessary information and financing. “The focus should be on access to these services throughout most of the country instead of being concentrated in Bucharest,” the document shows. Furthermore, the survey points out a series of structural and practical difficulties Romania is still having, due to the slow pace of adopting reforms in view of a market economy in the early 90s. ZF
