Codruţ Pascu, managing director of consultancy Roland Berger, says the private sector is the one that should chose Romania's development directions, with the state only being responsible with helping this materialise.
"I am concerned about those who expect much more, but I am optimistic to see that the private sector is doing its homework, especially as far as exports are concerned. We have 40 priority axes instead of a maximum of two or three. The private sector ought to choose its markets for strategic development, and the government ought to take ten steps back and let the real economy work," said Pascu at the conference Romans - The Romanian Manufacturers Summit, organised by marketing agency United.
On the other hand, Adrian Rus, president of Broadhurst Industrial Management, which specialises in industrial management, says the state should support the business sector more in order to increase competitiveness by creating a more flexible labour market, by delaying or even suspending tax payment for the duration of technical unemployment, by taking part in international fairs, and by introducing or consolidating commercial relations with Middle Eastern countries and with Russia as a state policy.
