The second edition of Romania's Business Yearbook, 2007, includes more than 800 companies and 80 markets, and is the most comprehensive work tool on the business media market in Romania.

The yearbook provides a picture of the economy in the year before the accession to the European Union.

The hot sectors in 2006 were construction and retail, which witnessed an over 30% growth rate. The profits of the major players on the cement market, Lafarge - 70 million euros (gross profit), Carpatcement Holding - 63 million euros and Holcim - 50 million euros, at least double the last year levels and the entrance of the German Rewe group in the euro billionaire club demonstrate, once again, the leap of the construction and retail sectors.

At the end of 2006, ten companies (Petrom, Lukoil, Rompetrol Rafinare, Electrica, Mittal Steel Galati, Automobile Dacia, Orange, Vodafone, Metro and Rewe Group) were carrying out over one billion euro businesses a year each, while the assets of the top twelve banks on the market exceeded this amount. Two banking institutions (Volksbank and Banca Romaneasca) overshot the one billion euro mark last year, the former posting assets of 1.38
