Building the Financial Infrastructure Romania Needs: Constantin Sebeșanu at the European Distressed Investing and Asset Based Lending Summit

Romania has potential for investment but lacks the financial infrastructure to connect capital with businesses effectively. Constantin Sebeșanu highlighted this at a recent summit, emphasizing the need for mechanisms that facilitate capital flow to viable companies. The financing gap is particularly evident among mid-sized firms, which struggle to secure funding due to their size and structure. This issue is exacerbated by competition from government borrowing, which attracts investors away from private companies. To improve access to equity, Romanian firms need to enhance governance and transparency, while also requiring patient investors willing to support growth without taking full control. The overall financial ecosystem must diversify to meet both public and private investment needs.
