Romania has made significant progress over the past 3 years Stabilization of the Economy: Improvement in the fiscal balance Stabilization of the exchange rate Lower risk premium and interest rates Record low inflation Stabilization of the banking system Improvement of external imbalances
The Fiscal Balance Romania: Cash Fiscal Balance (% of GDP)
The Fiscal Balance Romania: Structural Fiscal Balance (% of GDP)
The Exchange Rate National currency against the euro (index)
Banking Sector Stability Banks remain well-capitalized Liquidity in the system is high No banks in Romania have failed
So stabilization has been fairly successful, but what about growth?
Economic Growth Romania: GDP Growth Comparative Growth
But what about sustainable, long-term, high growth? How does Romania converge with richer EU countries? Sustained growth is different from economic recovery
Romania and Economic Institutions Is Romania’s economic structure well-adapted for stable, high economic growth? I would say not yet. Difference between “policies” and “institutions”
Romania’s growth challenge 0. Maintain macroeconomic stability 1. Increase the quantity and quality of capital in the economy 2. Increase the quantity and quality of labor 3. Improve the physical infrastructure that firms and workers use (roads, railways, electricity, water, etc.) 4. Improve the institutional infrastructure
1. How can Romania increase Capital? Investment • Financial sector: • Assure good functioning of the banking system • Reduce country risk interest rates down, investors come • Absorb EU investment funds! • Privatization, private participation
2. How can Romania increase Labor? Improve market functioning higher productivity Higher labor force participation Reduce informal economy formal economy Human capital: Education and training
3. Improving physical infrastructure EU funds absorption Prioritizing public investment Attract private capital/improve efficiency of public enterprises in infrastructure Improve regulatory framework Embedded technology vs. innovation
3. Improving physical infrastructure EU funds absorption Prioritizing public investment Attract private capital/improve efficiency of public enterprises in infrastructure Improve regulatory framework
4. Improving the “institutional” infrastructure • The laws, norms, institutions (public and private) and customs that determine the economic environment. • It is the rule of law, but also much more. • Examples: constitutions, the EU acquis.
4. Improving the “institutional” infrastructure • Structural reforms under the IMF/EU program have aimed at improving policies, sometimes with improvements in institutions. • Examples: • Pension reform (policy and institutions) • Fiscal responsibility law vs. deficit reduction • SOE reforms, privatization
4. Improving the “institutional” infrastructure • But much more is needed: • Legal system reforms • Need to make the system more efficient, more predictable, less costly (in money AND time) • Public sector reforms to improve efficiency. • Functional reviews • Tax optimization • Simplify and reduce bureaucracy • Improve regulatory framework
4. Improving the “institutional” infrastructure Legal system reforms Public sector reforms to improve efficiency Improve regulatory framework Attack corruption “Simplicity, transparency, accountability”
Conclusions • Romania has many characteristics needed for sustained growth: • Macroeconomic stability has been regained and may be more robust this time • Geographic advantages • Natural resources • Large, educated population that is underutilized
Conclusions • Policies have improved, but institutions are a challenge • Legacy of communism • Imported institutions from the EU, but not complete or ideal. • Rent-seeking behavior vs. wealth creation. • Institutional stability and efficiency needed for investment and innovation.
attractive, rich and various a diversity of relief forms – mountains, hills and plateaus, plains, coastal zones -, flora and fauna, thanks to it geographical position. Romania’s environment
Romania - the country of the Carpathians, the Danube and the Black Sea • The Carpathians make an almost compact ring, with the Transylvania Plateau inside • Forests cover over a quarter of the country and the fauna is one of the richest in Europe including wolves, bears, deer, lynx and chamois.
Romania has the greatest surface of the hydrographic basin of the Danube, controlling 38% of the navigable course. The Danube forms the southern boundary of the country terminating in the Delta on the Black Sea, a heaven for countless native and migratory birds. Romania - the country of the Carpathians, the Danube and the Black Sea
And finally, the country is located on the western coast of the Black Sea with a marine opening of 245 km, which confers on it a special status. Romania - the country of the Carpathians, the Danube and the Black Sea
At present, Romanian tourism industry is characterized by the following indicators: • 7.5 million foreign visitors in 2010 (down from 8.9 million in 2008…); out of which, 7.1 million visitors are coming from Europe (the most important markets being Moldavia, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Turkey, France, Russia and Spain); • 10.9 million outbound Romanian tourists (same year); the main destinations are Italy, Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Spain, Austria and Turkey; • more than 1,000 million US Dollars revenue from international tourism, but this amount is quite low in comparison with other European countries; • 3,405 millions US$ in GDP (or 2.04%) and • 270,000 jobs (3.2% of the total number of employees in Romania), showing a quite low participation of the tourism in the total Romanian economy (WEF, 2011).
