More than half of Romanians plan to make purchases during Black Friday 2024
|
<p>Roughly 57% of Romanians are planning to make purchases in the 2024 edition of Black Friday, according to the study "Black Friday Shopping - Plans and Expectations from a Consumer Perspective, 2024" conducted by the market research agency MKOR.</p>
<p>According to the study, 6 out of 10 Romanians want a different shopping experience this year, with substantial but also authentic discounts. </p>
<p>For active shoppers, the event represents an opportunity to purchase desired products and brands at more affordable prices (54%). Many consider Black Friday a good occasion to buy Christmas gifts (23%) or for anniversaries (14%). </p>
<p>The majority of those planning to buy during Black Friday are young people from Gen Z and Millennials and people with monthly incomes over RON 6,000 (EUR 1,200). The undecided segment (31%), consists mostly of people over 44 years old and with low incomes (under RON 3,000 RON).</p>
<p>Men remain the main rejecters (68%), although their percentage is decreasing compared to 2023 by 8%. However, the proportion of those actively rejecting the event has doubled in the last three years (from 5% in 2022 to 10% in 2024). </p>
<p>“Although it remains one of the most anticipated commercial events, with 5.5 million potential buyers, we see clear signals that the market is maturing. Consumers are more organized and selective, discount expectations are becoming more realistic, and the doubling of the rejecter segment in the last three years shows that the classic format may no longer be as attractive. For retailers, 2024 could be the year to rethink the Black Friday experience, focusing more on discount authenticity and adapting offers to consumer expectations,” said Alex Cimpoca, Digital Expert at MKOR.</p>
<p>The findings of the study confirm expectations. Romanians are organized and plan their purchases on average a month before the event. The majority (54%) start preparations up to 2 weeks in advance, while a third adopt a long-term strategy, starting their research 3-8 weeks ahead.</p>
<p>Eight out of 10 Romanians have already set their Black Friday budget, similar to 2023. They mainly considered disposable income (67%) but also what they have on their wish list (34%). </p>
<p>On average, Romanians want to purchase 3 products or services during this period, with the number slightly increasing compared to last year. Although preference for online shopping is slightly declining (-5% compared to 2023), it remains the main purchase channel. </p>
<p>Electronics and home appliances continue to dominate the shopping list in 2024, maintaining their leading position with 58% of preferences. IT&C products are gaining ground, registering a 5% increase over last year and becoming a priority for 32% of active shoppers. Fashion is losing appeal overall (-13% compared to 2023), but remains relevant for certain segments: 41% of young people from Generation Z and 42% of women still want to buy fashion items on Black Friday.</p>

Morgan Stanley Might Put America House Up For Sale

Morgan Stanley reportedly considers EUR 100 mln exit from Bucharest’s America House
|
<p>Morgan Stanley, together with David Hay, former Chief Executive Officer of AFI Europe, is reportedly exploring the sale of the America House office building in Bucharest’s Victoriei Square for approximately EUR 100 million, according to market sources cited by <a href="https://www.zf.ro/companii/discutii-pentru-o-noua-tranzactie-pe-piata-de-birouri-morgan-stanley-22768648?mc_cid=9bdb0e6ee9&mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ziarul Financiar</a>. </p>
<p>The potential divestment comes amid rising office rents and declining vacancy rates in Bucharest’s prime business districts, which are once again attracting institutional investor interest.</p>
<p>The American investment bank and Hay acquired America House in 2019 for around EUR 90 million from French asset manager AEW Europe.</p>
<p>Following the acquisition, the owners initiated a EUR 10 million refurbishment and modernisation programme, which was completed in the first half of 2022. The upgrades enabled the property to command rents of EUR 20 per square meter as of 2022, reflecting renewed demand in the central business district.</p>
<p>Originally developed by GTC in 2006, America House was sold the following year for EUR 120 million with a record yield of 5.6%, underscoring the building’s strategic appeal in the heart of Romania’s capital. Its location in Victoriei Square, described by Hay in 2022 as the “hottest” office market in Bucharest, continues to be a key factor in its valuation and attractiveness to potential buyers.</p>

Morgan Stanley sees no upside potential for Hidroelectrica's shares
|
<p>Morgan Stanley has maintained its target price of RON 95 for Romanian power producer Hidroelectrica's shares (BVB: H2O) after a downward revision of the company's 2024 budget. </p>
<p>The current trading price of Hidroelectrica shares on the Bucharest Stock Exchange is RON 129, significantly above Morgan Stanley's target. </p>
<p>The company's revised budget projects a net profit of RON 4.15 billion for 2024, 2025, and 2026, which is below analysts' expectations. </p>
<p>The dividend yield is estimated at 6.7%, considering a 90% payout ratio, which is close to the current yield of Romanian 10-year bonds of 6.9%. </p>
<p>"Thus, we consider that the current valuation of the shares of the shares is high, and we maintain our underexposure rating on this stock," reads a Morgan Stanley note signed by Arthur Sitbon, CFA, equity analyst, quoted by <a href="https://www.zf.ro/burse-fonduri-mutuale/morgan-stanley-pastreaza-pretul-tinta-95-lei-actiunile-22435533?mc_cid=a8f7704823&mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ziarul Financiar</a>. </p>
<p>The company's market capitalization stands at RON 57.9 billion, with shares trading at a P/E ratio of 9.7 times the net profit.</p>

Morphosis Capital acquires minority stake in space tech firm EnduroSat in first investment outside Romania
|
<p>Morphosis Capital Fund II has made its first investment outside Romania by acquiring a minority stake in EnduroSat, a leading European provider of high-end satellites and space services. The investment is part of a broader funding round aimed at accelerating EnduroSat’s expansion in the fast-growing "New Space" industry.</p>
<p>EnduroSat, founded by Raycho Raychev, specializes in delivering agile, software-flexible satellites and space services to commercial enterprises, research institutions, and space programs worldwide. With a team of over 220 professionals across six global locations, the company has built a strong track record of successful missions, streamlining satellite operations from engineering and integration to deployment and in-orbit management.</p>
<p>The company’s cutting-edge solutions enable businesses and organizations to access space more efficiently and affordably, with over 350 companies already leveraging its services for Earth observation, communications, and scientific research.</p>
<p>“I am really proud to continue our journey of making space universally accessible,” said Raychev. “We are excited to work with Morphosis Capital’s team and scale our operations further. In the last few years, we’ve experienced incredible growth, and having strong partners will enable us to continue on this path. I am personally thrilled that we are forming another strategic alliance in Europe.”</p>
<p>The investment marks a milestone for Morphosis Capital as it expands beyond Romania and enters the rapidly growing space sector.</p>
<p>“EnduroSat has built an impressive reputation as an innovator in the European space industry, developing solutions that optimize the efficiency and scalability of satellite operations,” said Dragoș Petre, Partner at Morphosis Capital. “Its pioneering approach not only streamlines deployment but also unlocks new opportunities for companies worldwide, making space more accessible than ever. We are excited to support its continued growth and global ambitions.”</p>
<p>The funding round, in which Morphosis Capital participates alongside CEECAT Capital and other investors, aims to strengthen EnduroSat’s position in the global satellite technology sector and further enhance its offering.</p>
<p>This acquisition is the third investment for Morphosis Capital Fund II, which has committed over 30% of its investable capital within the first seven months of its first closing. The fund, backed by the European Investment Fund and private investors, focuses on supporting dynamic companies in healthcare, technology, niche manufacturing, consumer products, retail, and B2B services. Previous investments include Mark Twain International School and supermarket chain La Cocos.</p>

Morphosis Capital closes oversubscribed Fund II at EUR 130 million
|
<p>The fund was oversubscribed beyond its initially agreed hard cap and, with investor consents, its size was increased accordingly. Fund II is backed by the European Investment Fund (EIF), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), alongside institutional asset managers and over EUR 50 million in entrepreneurial capital, contributed by both Romanian and Western European business founders.</p>
<p>Fund II has so far made three investments: Romania Education Alliance (REA), a private K12 education platform; La Cocos, a Romanian hard discounter hypermarket chain; and EnduroSat, a European provider of high-end satellites and space services, marking Morphosis Capital’s first cross-border investment. Over the next two to three years, Morphosis Capital anticipates making two to three new investments annually from Fund II.</p>
<p>In selecting portfolio companies, Morphosis Capital will continue to focus on businesses operating in growing markets and fragmented industries, with significant potential to scale through organic development or buy & build strategies. </p>
<p>Morphosis Capital Fund II will pursue investments in SMEs active in sectors such as healthcare, B2B services, consumer products and retail, and niche manufacturing. The fund targets companies with EBITDA between EUR 1 and 5 million, deploying tickets between EUR 10 million and EUR 15 million and favoring majority stakes or co-control positions, either independently or alongside co-investors.</p>
<p>The fund will pursue investments in Romania and beyond, targeting entrepreneurial companies from Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Poland, and Slovakia, it said.</p>
<p>“Closing a EUR 130 million fund against the backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty and political volatility is an extraordinary achievement. When we launched this effort, the idea of doubling the size of our first fund sounded ambitious. The 2023-2025 period, when we were fundraising, was marked by a high degree of volatility – locally, regionally, and globally. And yet, the continued trust of investors, from global institutions to Romanian entrepreneurs, validated our approach. The old paradigm assumed Western Europe meant stability and Eastern Europe – volatility. Today, volatility is everywhere, but in our region, it comes hand-in-hand with growth. This combination creates opportunity,” said <strong>Andrei Gemeneanu</strong>, managing partner at Morphosis Capital.</p>
<p>“As we move forward, we look to continue deploying this capital into both Romanian and regional companies that have the ambition and fundamentals to scale. In addition, we think that as an emerging player in Private Equity in Romania and in the region, we have the responsibility towards the ecosystem to walk the talk in respect to performance and reputation, so we remain committed to delivering on both,” he added.</p>

Morphosis Capital is preparing second private equity fund
|
<p>The investment company Morphosis Capital is preparing its second private equity fund, Morphosis Fund II, which aims to make 9-10 investments worth EUR 10-15 mln on average each, the company's representatives announced on October 9, <a href="https://www.zf.ro/burse-fonduri-mutuale/morphosis-capital-a-lansat-al-doilea-fond-prin-care-va-finanta-9-10-22511357?mc_cid=62ce6936be&mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ziarul Financiar</a> reported.</p>
<p>"We are still in the fundraising phase, so it will probably be a little more than that, but 90% of this capital is already committed by our investors, so we are quite confident in this figure," said Adrian Netea, Investment Director at Morphosis Capital, during the event.</p>
<p>The size of Morphosis Fund II will thus exceed EUR 100 mln, and the focus will be mainly on Romanian entrepreneurial companies (70%), but also two or three deals in other regions of Europe (30%), such as Bulgaria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia or Croatia are envisaged. </p>
<p>Morphosis is primarily looking for companies in healthcare, niche manufacturing, B2B services, and consumer and retail products. </p>

Morphosis Capital's second fund plans up to ten investments in Romania, the region
|
<p>Morphosis Capital Partners BV announced the official launch of Morphosis Capital Fund II, its second investment fund, with a committed capital of over EUR 100 million. This is double the size of its first fund commitment. </p>
<p>The new fund aims to support the growth of SMEs in Romania and the region in key sectors such as healthcare, B2B services, consumer products and retail, and niche manufacturing.</p>
<p>Through its second fund, Morphosis Capital aims to make between nine and ten investments, each with an investment ticket ranging from EUR 10 million to EUR 15 million.</p>
<p>By comparison, its first fund made six investments with a ticket size range between EUR 5 million and EUR 10 million.</p>
<p>The second fund's strategy will primarily focus on companies in Romania, but it will also target other countries in the region, such as Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The fund will target companies with an EBITDA between EUR 1 and 5 million, prioritizing majority stake acquisitions, either independently or alongside co-investors.</p>
<p>This is the first time that Morphosis Capital pursues a regional expansion strategy, Fund I having solely targeted investments in Romania. Additional recruitment efforts were made to enact this new strategy with an increase in team size from 8 to 12 members in 2024. The nearly doubled fund size and ticket size from Fund I to Fund II reflect the solid performance of Fund I, which has significantly increased investor commitments and confidence, further establishing the fund manager as a leading player in the sector, the fund said.</p>
<p>In selecting portfolio companies, Morphosis Capital targets businesses operating in growing markets, within fragmented industries, with scaling potential through organic growth or buy & build strategies. The fund also prioritizes companies with strong financial performance, a robust organizational culture, and prospects for mergers and acquisitions, offering exit opportunities for investors.</p>
<p>Morphosis Capital Fund II has already made two investments, the first being in Mark Twain International School (MTIS), the first private educational institution in Romania with a dual curriculum. Following the partnership, MTIS announced its expansion plan to build two new campuses near Bucharest, aiming to become the national leader in private education. The second investment was recently closed with Supermarket La Cocos, a local retailer owned by entrepreneurs Iulian and Gianina Nica, in December 2024.</p>
<p>"Building on the success of our first fund, which saw us make six strategic acquisitions in high-growth sectors, the launch of our second fund represents a pivotal step in our growth strategy. With double the size, Morphosis Capital Fund II equips us with the resources needed to further support entrepreneurial companies across Romania and the region. By driving both organic growth and M&A strategies, we will help companies scale rapidly, enabling their full potential, driving the long-term development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem throughout Central and Eastern Europe," <strong>Andrei Gemeneanu</strong>, managing partner at Morphosis Capital, said.</p>
<p>"The success of our first fund, which generated an IRR of over 30% through one full exit and two partial exits, sets a solid foundation for Fund II. As our first fund matures, we are confident in identifying further profitable exit opportunities that will strengthen our position as a trusted partner to both our portfolio companies and investors, while continuing our mission of identifying and partnering with innovative businesses through Fund II," he added.</p>
<p>Morphosis Capital's portfolio includes DocProcess, Medima Health, EMI, Cronos Med, Stay Fit Gym, Mark Twain International School, and Supermarket La Cocos. In 2023, Morphosis made its first full exit by selling its minority stake in Dr Leahu Dental Clinics to Regina Maria. </p>
<p>Morphosis Capital Partners BV is co-financed through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) and the InvestEU Fund of the European Union via an initiative managed by the European Investment Fund (EIF) to support investment funds. In addition to EIF's backing, Morphosis Capital has attracted capital from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and commitment from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The fund has also gained the trust of local and international family offices, such as Belgian-based Vybros Capital Partners and Inspire Asset Management, further diversifying its investor base.</p>

Moscow responds to Bucharest with expulsion of two Romanian diplomats
|
<p>Russia has expelled two Romanian diplomats in response to Bucharest’s earlier decision to declare two Russian embassy staff as personae non gratae, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday, April 9, as reported by <a href="https://tass.com/politics/1941049" rel="noopener" target="_blank">TASS</a>. </p>
<p>The Romanian diplomats, identified as the defense attaché in Moscow and his deputy, were informed of their expulsion after Romania’s charge d’affaires, Liliana Burda, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Moscow.</p>
<p>According to the statement, the move is a response to what Russia described as Romania’s “unfounded” <a href="https://www.romania-insider.com/romania-expels-russina-diplomats-march-2025" rel="noopener" target="_blank">decision in early March</a> to expel the Russian military attaché and his assistant from Bucharest. At the time, Romanian authorities accused the two Russian officials of engaging in activities that violated the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.</p>
<p>Russia has dismissed the accusations and criticized Romania’s actions as politically motivated. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova accused Romanian authorities of attempting to deflect attention from a domestic political crisis by blaming Russia.</p>

Moscow speaks of hostile actions by Romanian authorities towards the Russian Federation
|
<p>A State Duma commission in Moscow has sent "materials on hostile actions by Romanian authorities towards the Russian Federation" to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Foreign Ministry, according to <a href="https://tass.ru/politika/23483319?fbclid=IwY2xjawJPNKxleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHWBl6wJxvXPo93iN4mguwdIxCJiyNAoHnOX_FZY49Oc3rhxyFCw1y7SdLw_aem_CN6rchR2P9gVP90K-OtpmQ&mc_cid=a5f7f8ef6a&mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tass</a>, quoting the head of the commission, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption Vasily Piskarev.</p>
<p>The commission reacted to Romania accepting "representatives of a terrorist organization banned in Russia" in a conference organized at the Romanian Parliament. </p>
<p>The law gives prosecutors the power to declare foreign and international organizations "undesirable" in Russia and shut them down. People cooperating with such entities are subject to fines and can be banned from entering Russia.</p>
<p>The hostile actions of the Romanian authorities reportedly consisted of providing the "terrorists" with a parliamentary platform for carrying out provocations against Russia, according to Piskarev.</p>
<p>According to the deputies, during the event in the Romanian parliament, "repeated calls were made to Western countries, including foreign agents, to achieve the military defeat of Russia and dismember it into many independent states." </p>
<p>In addition, Piskarev added, proposals were made to "withdraw Russia from the Black Sea."</p>
<p>The conference that prompted Russia's reaction is "The Black Sea: the border of the future for a safe and stable Europe" and took place on March 19 at the Palace of Parliament, according to <a href="https://www.digi24.ro/stiri/externe/care-este-organizatia-terorista-care-a-provocat-furia-rusiei-ce-s-a-discutat-la-evenimentul-din-parlamentul-romaniei-3171705" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Digi24</a>.</p>
<p>The "terrorist organization" that Russian officials are talking about is the "Free Nations of Post-Russia Forum." The group is a movement of exiled politicians and activists who call for more autonomy and even independence for ethnic regions and republics of the Russian Federation. The organization, registered in Poland, was included on the list of organizations considered "terrorist" by Moscow in 2024, according to <a href="https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-undesirable-organization-free-nations-of-post-russia-forum/32323120.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Radio Free Europe</a>. </p>

Mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus found in Bucharest
|
<p>Mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus have been found in four districts of Bucharest. In response, the City Hall says it has intensified treatments in the affected areas. </p>
<p>Experts from Bucharest’s Cantacuzino Institute have most recently found mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus in District 3. They urged residents of the capital to remain calm, especially since not everyone who is bitten contracts the disease or develops a severe form. </p>
<p>West Nile Virus (WNV) can cause neurological disease and death in people and is commonly found in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and West Asia. The virus is maintained in nature in a cycle involving transmission between birds and mosquitoes. Humans, horses, and other mammals can be infected.</p>
<p>Treatment is supportive for patients with neuro-invasive West Nile virus, often involving hospitalization, intravenous fluids, respiratory support, and prevention of secondary infections. No vaccine is available for humans, according to the <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/west-nile-virus">World Health Organization</a>.</p>
<p>The symptoms of a West Nile virus infection, namely headaches, nausea, fever, or muscle aches, appear in a few cases. Those who do have symptoms should immediately contact a doctor.</p>
<p>“Since this is not a vaccine-preventable disease at this time, the best method of prevention is to avoid bites using all known methods. Yes, disinsection in both green spaces and indoors, using known anti-mosquito methods, and various repellents. These are what keep us at a distance from this disease,” said Simin Aysel Florescu, the manager of the "Victor Babeș" Infectious Diseases Hospital, cited by <a href="https://www.digi24.ro/stiri/actualitate/tantari-cu-virusul-west-nile-in-patru-sectoare-din-capitala-cand-ar-trebui-simptomele-sa-devina-o-ingrijorare-2874877">Digi24</a>.</p>
<p>Bucharest City Hall says that the eco-hygiene company has already intervened against mosquitoes where positive West Nile samples were found.</p>
<p>According to INSP, since June 3, one case of infection with this virus has been recorded in Bucharest. The infected person is a man between 60 and 69 years of age.</p>
<p>The National Institute of Public Health also <a href="https://insp.gov.ro/2024/07/29/recomandari-in-vederea-protejarii-impotriva-infectarii-cu-virusul-west-nile-2/">issued a warning</a> and a set of recommendations on Monday, noting that heat waves followed by precipitation can lead to the emergence of certain diseases.</p>
<p>"High temperatures and heat waves following heavy rains favor the occurrence of certain diseases, including West Nile infection, an infectious disease transmitted by mosquito bites," the institution stated.</p>
<p>INSP also recommended guarding against mosquito bites with long-sleeved clothing and long pants, chemical repellents, protective screens on windows, and the removal of water sources around the household. </p>

Most Bucharest residents want a greener, more sustainable city - study
|
<p>Seven out of ten Bucharest residents believe that the main priority for the future of their city is the creation of a greener and more sustainable urban environment, according to the MKOR study "The Ideal Bucharest - From Sustainability to Innovation, 2024." Reducing pollution and expanding green spaces are at the top of the list, with a particular focus on green roofs and better air quality.</p>
<p>The environment and sustainability are priorities especially for women, who want a cleaner and more environmentally friendly city. This increased sensitivity to environmental issues reflects a global trend where women are often leaders in sustainability and ethics movements, MKOR said.</p>
<p>According to the same source, improving mobility and transport infrastructure is a priority for 60% of respondents, particularly for those under 42 and those with high incomes (73%). </p>
<p>Study participants want a city that promotes active mobility, with a well-adapted infrastructure for bicycles and other eco-friendly means of transport. The development of efficient multi-modal transport and the construction of suspended roads are seen as solutions for traffic congestion and pollution reduction.</p>
<p>Bucharesters also want a more balanced urban development, with less chaotic construction and a stronger focus on restoring historic buildings. A well-defined urban plan could transform the capital city into a more attractive and functional city while maintaining the cultural heritage.</p>
<p>The study was conducted on a representative sample of 712 people.</p>

Most Romanians expect economic problems in coming months, INSCOP survey shows
|
<p>More than 85% of Romanians believe the country will face economic difficulties in the near future, with concern particularly high among voters of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) and adults aged 30 to 59, according to the latest INSCOP Research Barometer published on June 13 and consulted by <a href="https://adevarul.ro/economie/peste-85percent-dintre-romani-cred-ca-ne-vom-confrunta-2450118.html?mc_cid=29c026fb1c&mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Adevarul</a>.</p>
<p>“The vast majority of the population expects Romania to face economic problems in the coming months,” said Remus Ștefureac, director of INSCOP Research. “Awareness of the economic situation is shaped both by the information circulated in public discourse about the state of the economy and by how people perceive the potential personal impact of future fiscal policies.”</p>
<p>The survey was conducted by INSCOP Research using the CATI method (telephone interviews) between June 3 and 7. The sample included 1,150 respondents aged 18 and over, representative of Romania’s non-institutionalised adult population. The poll has a maximum margin of error of ±2.9%, with a confidence level of 95%.</p>
<p>According to the results, economic pessimism cuts across socio-demographic categories, though it is more pronounced among working-age adults and voters of nationalist or anti-establishment parties. The heightened concern follows continued public debate about Romania’s fiscal deficit, inflation, and proposed changes to the tax system, as well as stalled government formation talks.</p>
<p>The findings come at a time of elevated economic uncertainty. Romania’s budget deficit reached 3.4% of GDP in the first five months of 2025, while annual inflation accelerated to 5.45% in May, surpassing market expectations. Ongoing political negotiations have so far failed to produce a stable government or a detailed fiscal plan acceptable to both EU institutions and credit rating agencies.</p>
<p>The monthly barometer is conducted by INSCOP Research at the request of the Informat.ro platform in partnership with the Strategic Thinking Group think tank.</p>

Most Romanians prefer using their personal car on vacation, survey shows
|
<p>Six out of 10 Romanians going on vacation this summer will use their personal car, but those living in the Bucharest-Ilfov area are more likely to travel by train than other means of transport, according to the MKOR Tourism Market Study - Summer Vacation 2024. </p>
<p>The study highlights the habits and preferences of Romanians for the 2024 summer vacation, from how they plan their stays and the transportation options used to the types of accommodations chosen and preferred activities.</p>
<p>For this summer's trips, 60% of Romanians will travel by personal car, and 28% will fly. Those from Bucharest-Ilfov prefer the train over other means of transport.</p>
<p>Over half of the respondents (55%) will stay in hotels, followed by guesthouses (24%). Those who choose hotels or guesthouses prefer 3 or 4-star comfort (37% and 31%).</p>
<p>Early booking offers are popular among Romanians (22%), especially among married individuals and those with young children. Group offers or last-minute deals interest certain segments of tourists. However, a much larger percentage (60%) did not benefit from any discount when booking their vacation.</p>
<p>Regardless of discounts, the majority of respondents (44%) choose to pay online for their vacation, especially men, those with high incomes, and those with higher education. Generation X, married individuals, and those with young children prefer to pay in cash at the travel agency or accommodation unit (21%). A similar percentage (20%) did not pay for the vacation in advance.</p>
<p>For 4 out of 10 Romanians, recommendations, reviews available on specialized websites, and search engines are the main sources of information used in choosing a vacation location. Only 2 out of 10 respondents use travel agencies for information. </p>
<p>Additionally, only 16% of Romanians will use a travel agency to go on vacation this summer, 25% less than in 2017, when this study was first conducted.</p>
<p>The most popular vacation activities are relaxation (79%), visiting tourist attractions (59%), and hiking (37%). Men are attracted to adrenaline-pumping activities such as water sports and diving, while parents prefer amusement parks for the whole family.</p>
<p>"Over the years, habits have changed, and now Romanians plan their stays more carefully, research online, and read reviews and recommendations on specialized websites. I can confirm this trend as I also organize my family vacations in the same way. I am pleased to see that relaxation is a priority during vacations, followed by visiting tourist attractions and hiking. These activities are essential for our mental and emotional well-being, which we greatly need," said Cori Cimpoca, founder of MKOR.</p>

Most Romanians think positively about foreign investors, study says
|
<p>Almost 68% of Romanians say they would like the level of foreign direct investment in Romania to increase (versus 15% who would like to see fewer foreign investors), according to a poll "on the population's attitude regarding economic patriotism and the vulnerabilities of the democratic regime," conducted by INSCOP at the behest of the Concordia Employers' Confederation.</p>
<p>"The study shows that Romanians view companies as an engine of stability and progress. It is the right time to capitalize on this openness and lay the foundations for a healthy economy that works for the benefit of all," commented Radu Burnete, executive director of the Concordia Employers' Confederation.</p>
<p>The study also shows that over 60% of those surveyed have a good opinion about Romanian companies investing in other countries, while 30% have a bad opinion.</p>
<p>"61% of Romanians have a good opinion about the investments of Romanian companies in other countries. We see that young people are the most enthusiastic about this perspective," said Remus Ștefureac, president of INSCOP.</p>
<p>However, the results of the poll are mixed, spot several misinterpretations, and arguably reveal a certain level of support given to isolationist and etatist tendencies. </p>
<p>Some 46% of those polled said that the government should prioritise support given to Romanian companies (even at the cost of discouraging foreign investors). But interestingly, "Romanian companies" are perceived to be those companies that pay taxes in Romania. Furthermore, 56% of those polled believe Romania would be better off with more state-owned than private companies (as opposed to 39% opting for more private companies).</p>
<p>The disapproval rate for foreign investors is relatively low at 18.3% for the "EU companies" but rises to 24.6% when "multinational" companies are mentioned (while the approval rate exceeds 70% in both cases).</p>
<p>Surprisingly, 29.6% of those polled think negatively of Romanian companies investing abroad. The disapproval rate is negatively correlated with the perceived income, education, and urbanization (wealthier individuals in urban areas with higher education think positively). The disapproval rate drops to 12% when it comes to Romanian companies "expanding in the European Union" (as compared to "investing abroad.”)</p>
<p>The poll also revealed that 89.7% support Romania's Nato and EU membership (versus 6.4% who opt for exit), despite a large majority of them (66.3%) saying that Romania "is moving in the wrong direction" (which thus is rather associated with domestic drivers rather than the country's membership to Nato or EU).</p>
<p>Regarding how much Romania's EU membership impacts the country's sovereignty, however, only 51.6% opted for "not too much" versus 40.6% believing the impact is too strong. A large majority of 80.7% believe Romania should be more active in negotiating its position as a member of the European Union.</p>

Most Wanted Employers study: IT & Tech, Retail stand out as most attractive sectors for Romanians
|
<p>The sectors of IT & Technology and Retail stand out as the most attractive for Romanian professionals, while the salary remains the main driver, according to the <a href="https://mkor.ro/studii/studiu-mkor-most-wanted-employers-2024/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Most Wanted Employers 2024</a> study conducted by research agency MKOR.</p>
<p>IT & Technology dominates preferences with 18% of options and attracts not only IT professionals but also financial accounting specialists. The giants Google and Microsoft lead the list of preferred employers in this sector.</p>
<p>"Competitive salaries (40%) and flexibility (15%) are the main reasons why employees are attracted to the IT field, while for job seekers, professional development is the main asset (36%)," said Cori Cimpoca, founder of MKOR.</p>
<p>Retail ranks second with 10% of preferences, especially among professionals working in manufacturing, accounting, and operations. Dedeman and eMAG stand out as leaders in this field.</p>
<p>According to the same study, pay and benefits remain top priority (33%). However, 1 in 5 employees consider the work environment and organizational culture decisive in choosing an employer.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, contrary to post-pandemic expectations, only 6% of employees consider flexibility important in choosing a job.</p>
<p>Professional and personal development is the main reason why the unemployed would go to work. Tech and FMCG sectors are seen as beneficial areas to evolve in this regard.</p>
<p>The same source revealed that roughly 9 out of 10 Romanians would choose to work in the private sector, regardless of whether or not they currently have a job. This trend is even more pronounced among the young people of Generation Z, where 93% of those employed would choose a private organization.</p>
<p>In fact, Generation Z is set to become the new force in the labor market. By 2034, Generation Z will represent approximately 40% of the workforce, making it essential for organizations to adapt to this generation's preferences.</p>
<p>Young people of this generation are bringing new priorities to the employer landscape, placing increased importance on company reputation and development opportunities. More connected to employer branding through social media, they evaluate not only the salary package but also the company's image and values. Adapting to these preferences becomes critical to long-term organizational success, MKOR said.</p>

Most foreign citizens illegally crossing the border were trying to exit Romania, Border Police report says
|
<p>Nearly 3,000 foreign citizens attempted to cross the border illegally in the first 8 months of the year, with almost 2,000 discovered while trying to exit the country, according to a <a href="https://www.politiadefrontiera.ro/ro/main/i-analiza-activitatii-politiei-de-frontiera-romane-in-primele-opt-luni-ale-anului-2024-38172.html">report from the Romanian Border Police</a>. </p>
<p>During this period, over 40 million people crossed the border, including approximately 28 million EU citizens and 12 million non-EU citizens. The most frequented borders were those with Hungary (over 12 million people) and Bulgaria (over 6.85 million).</p>
<p>Additionally, approximately 12.1 million vehicles passed through border checkpoints, including 6.8 million cars, 4 million trucks, 1 million minibuses, and 200,000 other vehicles. </p>
<p>“In the first eight months of 2024, during border surveillance and control actions, the Border Police identified 2,837 foreign citizens attempting to illegally cross the state border, 980 of them at entry and 1,857 at exit. Additionally, this year, due to the situation in the neighboring country and changes in legislation regarding the conscription age, there has been a considerable increase in the number of Ukrainian citizens trying to enter Romania illegally (approximately 9,500), who later applied for temporary protection or asylum in our country,” the Border Police reported. </p>
<p>From January to August, the Border Police reported approximately 26,800 illegal acts, including over 11,700 crimes and 15,100 offenses committed by both Romanian and foreign citizens. Of these crimes, the majority were related to illegal migration (over 8,000 cases), as well as forgery and violations of traffic regulations. </p>
<p>Over 15,000 people were fined, with penalties totaling RON 11.5 million. Most of the fines were issued at the border with the Republic of Moldova, accounting for 62% of the total number. </p>
<p>Police representatives added that new equipment has been allocated to manage illegal migration, with an increase in patrols and surveillance tools used for missions at the borders with Serbia, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Aerial surveillance missions are also being organized in collaboration with other Ministry of Internal Affairs structures. </p>
<p>Additionally, from January to August, the Border Police seized 1.75 million packets of cigarettes worth over RON 35.2 million, over 6.3 tons of tobacco, and one ton of hookah tobacco. </p>
<p>The Border Police, either independently or in collaboration with customs officials, found counterfeit goods bearing protected international brands, including 207,000 clothing and lingerie items, 8,000 toys, 97,400 cosmetics and perfume products, 80,300 pairs of footwear, as well as leather goods and sunglasses. </p>
<p>Border guards also discovered 245 kilograms of cannabis, 40 kilograms of amphetamine, one kilogram of cocaine, 29 kilograms of precursors, 600,000 pieces of psychotropic substances, and 1,180 pieces of other narcotics.</p>
<p>Additionally, the Border Police found 222 vehicles reported stolen in various EU countries, including 179 cars, 14 trucks, 20 minibuses, 4 motorcycles, and 5 trailers. </p>

Most new jobs in Romania cluster around Bucharest and 4 counties, report says
|
<p>Bucharest and Ilfov, Cluj, Iași, Brașov, and Timișoara were the counties with the most new job openings in the first nine months of the year. The fewest options for candidates came from employers in Ialomița, Mureș, and Brăila, according to a report by online recruitment platform eJobs.</p>
<p>All in all, over 230,000 new jobs were posted in the same period to the eJobs platform. Half of these came from employers in Bucharest and Ilfov, with over 110,000 opportunities available in the capital alone. With nearly 40,000 so far this year, Cluj is the second county with the most job offers, though significantly behind Bucharest. Iași ranks third with 34,000 jobs, followed by Brașov (29,000) and Timiș (28,000).</p>
<p>"Compared to the same period last year, overall there has been a roughly 15% decrease in available jobs, and a shift in rankings between Brașov and Timiș. In 2023, Timiș ranked fourth, just after Bucharest, Cluj, and Iași, but this year Brașov and Ilfov have overtaken it," said Bogdan Badea, CEO of eJobs.ro. </p>
<p>On the other hand, counties where candidates had the fewest job opportunities were Ialomița, Mureș, Brăila, Argeș, and Neamț. "From this perspective, the ranking is almost identical to the first nine months of 2023. It’s interesting that it’s not just one region of the country but, rather, each geographical area has at least one county where competition among candidates is very high. Additionally, salaries in these counties are approximately 15% to 20% below those in larger counties," explained Bogdan Badea. </p>
<p>In regions where fewer than 20,000 new jobs were posted this year, such as Ialomița, Mureș, Brăila, Argeș, Neamț, and Bihor, retail, the food industry, transport/logistics, services, and tourism are the main sectors looking for candidates. "These are almost exclusively jobs that require physical presence at the workplace, targeting mostly entry-level candidates. This does not necessarily mean only young candidates at their first job, but also those over 45 who are willing to change fields or take up positions that do not require experience," added Bogdan Badea. </p>
<p>Retail remains the largest employer in the top counties as well, but other fields also appear, such as call centers/BPO, construction, manufacturing, financial services, or IT. "There's a constant transfer of talent and specialists from small towns to large ones, as they have more employment opportunities and, obviously, better salaries," Bogdan Badea elaborated. </p>
<p>The capital accounts for half of the total number of applications registered from January to the end of September, with 4.5 million. Cluj is in second place with 1.4 million, followed by Ilfov (1.3 million), Timiș (1.2 million), Iași, and Brașov (both with 1.1 million). The least interest from candidates was in jobs in Neamț, Maramureș, Suceava, Arad, and Galați. </p>

Most of Romania's largest IT employers cut their workforce in 2023
|
<p>Eight out of the ten largest IT companies in Romania have curtailed their workforce in 2023, according to data compiled by <a href="https://www.zf.ro/eveniment/primele-date-legate-incetinirea-pietei-it-opt-zece-cei-mari-22395816?mc_cid=17d4b6966a&mc_eid=607bd7d763" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ziarul Financiar</a>.</p>
<p>The ten companies shed their combined workforce by some 2,000 after they had employed 2,600 more in 2022 (compared to 2021).</p>
<p>The workforce dynamics are correlated with wages, and both of them are driven by the subdued demand for IT solutions generated by sectors that face financial constraints. </p>
<p>"The IT market has reached maturity at this moment. Those who work as contractors for foreign companies [that outsource their labor intensive low value-added processes], without having their own products, do face some problems," explained Adrian Dinu, founder of Creasoft, manufacturer and developer of electronic systems and customized control and monitoring software.</p>
<p>The largest decrease in the number of employees was recorded by Ericsson Telecommunications Romania, which in 2023 had 584 fewer employees compared to 2022, followed by Amazon Development Center Romania, with a decrease of 464 employees, and by Oracle Global Services Romania, with a decline of 437 employees in 2023 compared to 2022.</p>
