The Start-Up Nation program, which aims to stimulate entrepreneurship in Romania through grants, will continue this year with a budget of over EUR 440 million from European funds, minister of economy, entrepreneurship and tourism, \u015etefan-Radu Oprea, said on Tuesday, July 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I think an emergency ordinance will be passed at the first government meeting,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The minister also said that another state-backed program, one aimed at helping women entrepreneurs, is expected to start at the end of July. The authorities are currently working on the technical platform for applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Romania’s economic development must be based on investments, salary increases, and consumption growth, minister Oprea commented.<\/p>\n
“Geography is Romania’s friend. In this period, we are no longer a country on the border of the European Union; we are a country on the front line, where there is effervescence (…) And I like to quote from The Economist, which says that in the next 7 – 8 years, Romania will have the highest economic growth in the European Union,” he said, quoted by Agerpres<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the minister’s view, Romania’s exports could reach the value of EUR 100 billion this year, up from EUR 93 bln in 2023.<\/p>\n andrei@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>\n (Photo source: Inquam Photos\/George Calin)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Start-Up Nation program, which aims to stimulate entrepreneurship in Romania through grants, will continue this year with a budget of over EUR 440 million from European funds, minister of economy, entrepreneurship and tourism, \u015etefan-Radu Oprea, said on Tuesday, July 16.\u00a0 “I think an emergency ordinance will be passed at the first government meeting,” he […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
