Over 560 Polish investors have businesses in Romania, while in Poland there are only three Romanian companies at present, two of which have only offices.
“Romanians are not coming to Poland as they do not know the
market and the opportunities it offers. Moreover, they are not
interested in getting to know the market, which they automatically
include in the category of former communist markets. Romanians
prefer going to Western countries such as Spain and France or to
the Middle East,” Gabriel Costache, a representative of Romania’s
embassy in Warsaw, explained for ZF.
In the first nine months of this year, Polish companies brought
around 108m euros on the Romanian market.
“No new investor has arrived in Poland lately. The Polish are more
interested in Romania than we are in Poland. There are three
Romanian investors here, two of which have only offices and another
one has a partnership with a domestic company for natural gas
exploration,” Costache stated.
