Economic Outlook:
- Romania is located in Southeastern Europe, and has been part of the EU Single Market since 2007; however, it does not yet use the Euro currency.
- In 2015, the economic growth is 2.8%, and is forecasted to increase to 3.1% in 2016.
- GDP per capita is €7,749.
- Romania has one of the largest rural populations (45%) in Europe. The income gap between rural and urban populations is substantial, strongly reflected through differences in access to both education and healthcare.
- Trade and labor market reforms together with an expected global increase of economic activity, along with industrial outputs and other factors, will allow Romania's continued growth. Major infrastructural projects, in part funded by the EU, will stimulate further investments.
