PRESS RELEASE

The Trust of Romanian Entrepreneurs into Economy Goes Down

    Half of the SMEs managers are skeptical about the economy evolution in 2012, shows a study made by National Union of Romanian Employers in the period November 21^st - December 5^th, 2011.  The reasons for this lack of optimism are European currency depreciation as well the next year elections that will have negative effects at administrative and budgetary level.

    "After 22 years the Romanian state has not yet defined his prior sectors. We understand that certain state enterprises are priority only if they are managed by the state and not after privatization. The private enterprises might be a possible supporting vector of national economy. UNPR considers that supporting the private Romanian capital into European competition is a vital measure for Romania economy in 2012" stated Marian Petre Milut, President of UNPR.
