Franklin Templeton Investment, the American investment management giant that last year won management of the Fondul Proprietatea (Property Fund - FP), reasserts its commitment to Romania and the Fund, while still awaiting the Government's approval in order to effectively become the Fund's manager.

If the Chamber of Deputies approves the amendments brought to Ordinance no. 81/2007, Templeton will be able to take over management of the Fondul Proprietatea in a few months' time, and float the Fund on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, as well as on an international market.
