The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has approved a new country strategy for Romania, which will guide its investments and policy engagement over the next five years.
The new plan will focus on bolstering private-sector competitiveness, enhancing economic resilience, and accelerating the green economy transition. To date, the EBRD has invested more than €12 billion in Romania's economy.
Victoria Zinchuk, EBRD Regional Director for Romania, said: "Our new country strategy is an active response to Romania's most pressing economic issues. It provides a framework for targeted investments and policy engagement that can help the country overcome its immediate fiscal crisis and build a more sustainable and prosperous future."
The new strategy is designed to sustain Romania's convergence path while addressing its remaining structural vulnerabilities. Between 2025 and 2030, the EBRD's efforts will be concentrated on improving private-sector competitiveness through innovation, better access to finance, and good governance.
The bank will also support economic resilience and the green transition.
