Romanian firms invest and digitalise but remain cautious on economy, EIB survey finds

Romanian companies are increasing investment and accelerating digital transformation, but remain more cautious about the economic outlook than their EU counterparts, according to the European Investment Bank's newly released EIB Investment Survey 2025 – Romania overview. The report showed that 78% of Romanian firms invested in the past year, an improvement over previous editions yet still below the EU average of 86%.

Despite expressing a more negative view of the economic, political, and regulatory environment, 44% of firms plan to expand production capacity over the next three years - a significantly higher share than the EU average of 26%.
