Chairman of the Romanian-German Chamber of Commerce (AHK Romania) Dragos Anastasiu, member of the Coalition for the Development of Romania, said on Tuesday that at a meeting the same day with Prime Minister Florin Citu he requested the allocation of funds needed to implement aid measures for companies affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming that payments are delayed.
Dragos Rosca, chairman of the Romanian Business Leaders said in his turn that he called for the continuation of the accompanying measures that are currently in place.
"Romania has a very low unemployment at EU level; it is unemployment that stands at 5pct of the workforce, and during the pandemic it did not increase much; it was covered by the support measures from the government at that time, as far as furloughing is concerned, as well as accompanying measures for temporary working time. Those sectors that had been affected, such as HORECA, were supported to a significant extent by these accompanying measures. We did not ask for more, just for for the current measures to continue," said Rosca.
