The first ten months of the year have been disastrous for 99% of Romanian defense companies, lacking orders and prospects, according to Romarm's CEO. Despite significant funding allocations for defense, no progress has been made. The defense budget is poorly structured, failing to adequately support the defense industry, which could contribute significantly to the Romanian economy. Pîrcălăbescu emphasized the need for investment in defense to potentially allocate 5% of GDP to this sector in the future. The defense ecosystem consists of around 200 companies, mostly private, and collaboration between state and private entities is essential for growth. A roundtable event was held to discuss the sector's future and strategic priorities.
