Why Doing Business in Romania? After gaining its independence from the Soviet regime, Romania went through a difficult period of political instability and economic downfall for almost an entire decade. By transforming its economic policies at the turn of the century, Romania experienced high growth and prosperity, which it continues to enjoy as a new member of the European Union. Its rapid economic growth and modernisation makes Romania an attractive market for potential business investments, but in order to be successful, one most have an understanding of Romanian business etiquette and culture.
