Celebrating business excellence

6007 afisari
Even though 2019 has been dominated by political instability and legislative inconsistencies, many local businesses can look proudly on their accomplishments. In this context, Business Arena recognized the efforts and achievements of successful companies, banks, entrepreneurs and investors at its third awards gala this year: the 2019 Business Arena Awards for Excellence, held in the presence of more than 100 banking and financial leaders, professionals and diplomats. 

However, the business environment hasn't always offerd the best conditions for development, and experts predict a slow-down in the economy in the short run. Moreover, Romania's Finance Ministry said that it has increased the consolidated budget deficit target for 2019 to 4.3% of the projected gross domestic product (GDP), from an initial estimate of 2.76%. Also, the ministry has decided to lower the economic growth projection for 2019 to 4.0% from previously forecast 5.5%, according to the budget revision draft published on the ministry's website. According the ministry, the decisions come as a result of poor tax collection and higher expenses. The budget deficit for 2019 is seen at 44.72 billion lei (9.3 billion euro), compared to a previous forecast of 28.45 billion lei.
Earlier this month, Finance Minister Florin Citu said that the budget gap could widen to 4% of gross domestic product this year and accused his Social Democrat predecessor Eugen Teodorovici of deliberately faking numbers.
According to media reports, on November 20, the European Commission said that Romania needs to prevent a possible widening of its budget deficit beyond the 3% threshold agreed with the EU.
"Romania needs to take the necessary measures to ensure that the nominal growth rate of net primary government expenditure does not exceed 4.4% in 2020, corresponding to an annual 3499structural adjustment of 1.0% of GDP, thereby putting the Member State on an appropriate adjustment path toward the medium-term budgetary objective," the Commission said in its country-specific recommendations on Romania, a part of the European Semester Autumn 2019 Package.

The special event was moderated by Andy Alexandru Antemia and it was organized in partnerships with CEC Bank, Idea Bank, Apulum Porcelain Factory, Meli Melo Paris, World Class Romania, Via Viticola, Kanal D, Casa Anke, Happy Forever by Andreea, Trends By Adina Buzatu, Ramada Bucharest Parc Hotel.
