Romania needs massive foreign investment for development
Romania needs massive foreign investment for development, but, in the same time, Romanian capital should also be encouraged, considers Minister of Economy, Costin Borc. „We are worse than our neighbors in terms of territorial development”, said Costin Borc. „We are worse than our neighbors in terms of industrial parks, we are worse than our neighbors in attracting foreign investment. Romania needs massive investment in a context of economic development.” Minister of Economy pointed out that another problem is the lack of well-trained workforce and that many companies complain that they can not find qualified employees in certain jobs. Costin Borc added that solutions for wage rises and for a continuing professional development of employees must be sought, for bringing back home the Romanians who left to work abroad, for motivating super specialized people and with entrepreneurial spirit.
