President Klaus Iohannis has stated on Tuesday that the vision for Romania's development in the next years will be based on innovation, competitiveness and massive investments in transport, energy infrastructure, but also in the healthcare one, and requested the support of "credible" political forces and business milieu to provide confidence to employees and entrepreneurs.
He underscored that there are no economic sectors which had not affected to a greater or lesser extent by the coronavirus pandemic.
The head of state talked about opportunities and remarked the boost in the digitisation of administration.
"Institutions quickly adapted, from the ones in the labour area or the financial sector, to granting medical services online. It is a huge step forward, which it is mandatory to strengthen," Iohannis said.
He emphasised that it is not a restart of economy from scratch, because Romania's economy hasn't been completely stopped these months.
"There were important sectors which operated at full capacity, as it is the construction sector and the infrastructure one, which explains the economic growth in the first quarter," President Iohannis added.
The head of state carried out at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace, on Tuesday, two meetings with the Government members regarding the measures to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
