President Iohannis says America can become a top investor in Romania

Romanian president Klaus Iohannis told Americans who participated at the BestInvest Economic Forum in New York that the US can become a principal investor in Romania.
According to Agerpres, the head of state claimed that American investments are welcomed in Romania and that he believes the US can become one of the most important investors in the country.
 “The Romanian economy has many advantages: sustained economic growth, financial and monetary stability, reduced public debt, well trained workforce and numerous natural resources. Romania is an element of stability for the entire region” the same source cites him as saying.
Iohannis apparently also made reference to the increasing rate at which commerce is conducted between the US and Romania, but, that in order to be able to take advantage of all given economic opportunities, barriers against free trade must be overcome.
Protection of property, reduction of bureaucracy, a more efficient approach to public administration and the combating of corruption are a few of the ways he suggested investor trust could be regained. The president also stressed the importance and investment potential of the energy sector and capital market environment in Romania. In this respect, Iohannis expressed his country's support for the Transatlantic Trade an Investment Partnership.
