The ten biggest industrial parks created by the state over the past 8 years, which have attracted foreign investments of billions of euros and created over 22,000 jobs in the economy, still have 30% of areas vacant. While new investment projects have been put on ice, production engines are still working, "salvaged by exports", says the administrator of a park in Braşov. Overall, there are 200 investors in the ten largest industrial parks in Romania, manufacturing car parts, electric panels, mobile phones, shampoos, apparel or other goods for the West Europeans or Americans or creating services and software.

The Ministry of Administration and Interior Affairs has granted the industrial park title to another two locations this year.
