About 15 percent of all the files approved during the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU concerned areas falling under the competence of the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF); the debates and agreements concluded on the respective files resulted in 17 regulatory acts, said ASF president Leonardo Badea.
He mentioned that 12 files have been approved in the non-banking financial sector, of which 9 settled with a political agreement, 1 with a general agreement and 2 in negotiation.
Badea also referred to the macroeconomic framework and pointed out that in Romania it is characterized by the return of investments into positive territory and by a relative increase in private consumption - the main driver of economic expansion, against the backdrop of the rising external deficit.
