During his working visit to the U.S., Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare had several meetings with Bank of America, Citibank, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan representatives.
"Marathon of meetings these days, during our working visit to Washington D.C., with Bank of America, Citibank, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, key partners in the implementation of Romania's sovereign financing plan," Nazare wrote on Facebook.
According to the minister, these institutions have constantly supported Romania's access to international markets, as well as the development of the government securities market, through active trading on the secondary market. They have also backed the diversification of the investment base and debt instruments.
Nazare mentioned that in 2025 Romania raised a syndicated loan of one billion euros with Bank of America as lead arranger, and private placements in the form of a cumulative loan of 800 million euros, managed by Goldman Sachs - facilities intended to support the external financing plan.
"This initial plan worth about 17 billion euros is already fully nailed down, and we are next to decide on its supplementation depending on the market conditions and the budget deficit established at the budget adjustment," the Finance minister explained.
He added that Citibank and JP Morgan have contributed significantly to the development of the domestic secondary market for government securities and to Romania's promotion to international investors.
"Through this partnership, we have diversified our investment base and strengthened Romania's presence on foreign markets. We continue the visit, pursuing the same strategic goals: strengthening the economic and financial dialogue with the United States, attracting long-term investments and opening new financing channels for Romania's development," concluded the Romanian official.
Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare is on a working visit to Washington D.C. from September 11 to 13, in a bid to strengthen the economic and financial dialogue with American partners and attract new investors for Romania's key sectors such as energy, infrastructure or technology.
