“Romania is ready to kick off soon negotiations to join OECD. This membership will reconfirm the economic progress of our country, its level of development. It will mean a more efficient public administration that is adapted better to the demands of the global world. I strongly believe this can happen soon,” said Grindeanu, quoted by TransylvaniaToday.ro.
The head of government said that current OECD members will play a role in helping Romania secure its membership in the Paris-based organisation.
Grindeanu said during a special conference on OECD membership that Romania recorded the biggest economic growth rate in the European Union, in the first quarter, while exports reached a fresh high in March worth EUR 5.6 billion. He added that foreign direct investments were up by around 22 percent to EUR 1 billion in Q1.
