PwC: Romanian-owned firms dominate Moldova, Dobrogea and Oltenia regions

Romanian-owned companies account for a majority of the country’s largest businesses, but their presence varies sharply by region, according to a PwC Romania analysis on the structure of local entrepreneurship. The study shows that companies with Romanian capital make up 53% of the top 5,000 largest firms nationwide.

The dominance of Romanian-owned companies is most pronounced in the regions of Moldova, Dobrogea, and Oltenia, where they represent more than three-quarters of the largest businesses. Meanwhile, foreign-owned companies prevail in the Bucharest–Ilfov region, while Transylvania shows a more balanced split between domestic and foreign capital.
