The Impact of Transnational Corporations in Romanian Economy

This study develops the topic on transnational corporations (TNCs) and their presence in the Romanian space and their contribution to the development of the national economy sectors. The main objectives of this paper aims to identify the sectors that attracted FDI in our country and the impact they have on the social and economic life (creating jobs, increasing turnover, etc.). To achieve these goals, we collected, processed and interpreted statistical data contained in the various reports and databases. The results show that tax incentives, low cost of labor, geographical location, large internal market and EU accession have made Romania become an attractive country for foreign investors. These advantages have motivated transnational corporations to invest in our country in 2013 in industry, trade, services and a lower percentage in construction. So, transnational corporations are of interest for the Romanian market. In this context the state institutions make efforts to provide a minimum legislative "comfort" for the foreign investors.
