România, pe locul al treilea în UE în funcţie de rata de investire, în 2025

In 2025, Romania's gross fixed capital formation reached 25.6% of GDP, exceeding the EU average by over four percentage points. Cristian Popa from the National Bank of Romania highlights that high investment rates are beneficial only if they are efficient and performance-driven. Romania ranked third in the EU for investment rates, following the Czech Republic and Croatia. The increase in fixed capital accumulation contributed nearly one percentage point to real GDP growth. Public investments were boosted by stronger absorption of EU funds, compensating for reduced national funding. Popa emphasizes the importance of effective capital use for sustainable development and the growing competition for investment in key sectors.
