Business opportunities for Dutch enterprises


Romania offers many business opportunities for Dutch enterprises as can also be concluded from the large number of Dutch companies active there already. The liberal investment climate, the huge market potential, a skilled and low cost labour force, the influx of international assistance and capital and a consistent harmonisation policy with EU legislation and regulations have resulted in an interesting business climate for large, medium and small enterprises.
However, the new government elected ultimo 2000 may change some priorities in economic policy and slow down the privatisation process. Moreover the persistent bureaucracy on all public levels may remain a time consuming element the near future.

There are and will be many business opportunities in Romania. The project ideas identified implicitly prove the relevance of the current PSO+ programme. Given the emphasis the authorities put on improving transport and infrastructure the PSO budget for the theme “Transport” is likely to remain too small.


The following table shows an assessment of the business opportunities in the different sub sectors for possible PSO+ projects. Sometimes the expression "no key area" has been used to indicate that the relevant sub sectors do not really qualify for PSO+ projects. This does not necessarily mean that there are no sound business opportunities in the mentioned sub sectors.

Business opportunities / project ideas identified for Dutch enterprises
In spite of the fact that government influence and interference in the market economy is likely to increase in Romania since the new Government has come to power, the well educated labour force and the huge market potential offer increasingly sound business opportunities.
The PSO programme for Romania is and will prove to be very effective in view of the stage of economic and institutional development of the country. The sectors transport, in particular road transport, and shipbuilding and related industries offer many opportunities to Dutch enterprises, which we have summarised below more specifically.
