On the last day of his visit to New York on Wednesday, Prime Minster Dacian Ciolos met American investors operating in Romania, whom he introduced to the measures envisaged by the Romanian Government to secure local economic stability and improve management of state-run companies.
He said the attending American investors displayed interest in the development of Romania's capital market, in the development of the stock portfolio of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
"They are ready to invest. I told them that even in this area we are preparing to open up the capital market to improve the performance of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, without losing state control over companies that are important to Romania. (...) That was a useful conversation that allowed us to clarify certain measures we have taken and some we are contemplating taking. On the other hand, I now better understand their expectations from the Romanian business environment (...). They regard economic and legislative decisions, as well as transparency in the decision-making process related to corporate management," said Ciolos.
