Foreword Romania has been catching up with OECD economies and almost halving the gap in GDP per capita overthe last two decades, driven by strong productivity growth.However, since theglobal financial crisis,Romania has suffered of weak business dynamism and investment and the pace of economic growth isslowing down. Most of Romania labour productivity growth is driven by capital accumulation, boosted byEU-funded projects, rather than technological progress.While large multinational enterprises haveattractedforeign investment in sectors such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT), manysmall and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) remain less productive and mostly domestic-oriented.Improving the business environment will be key to strengthen entrepreneurship and investment. To support this effort, the OECD, in collaboration with the Reform and Investment Task Force (SGREFORM) of the European Commission, is supporting the Romanian government to improve the businesslicensing system,under the Technical Support Instrument of the European Union. Theworkaims at makingthe business licensing procedures simpler, more predictable and transparent for businesses. This report outlines the key features of the business licensing system, its main barriers and ways to simplifyit, with a special focus on the commerce and service sectors. It builds on an in-depth analysis of theupdated Business Licensing Inventory, which collected information on 502 licences for business activitiesin the commerce, industrial,and service sectors. It relies on information provided by public institutions,interviews with public and private stakeholders and a methodology developed by the OECD to assess theadministrative complexity of the business licensing system. The recommendations presented in this report contribute to addressing the 2019 European Commissioncountry-specific recommendation to improve the quality and predictability of decision making andcomplement the policy recommendations aimed at improving thebusiness licensing system presented inthe 2024 OECD Economic Survey of Romania. They indirectly support the achievement of Target 244 ofthe National Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) by contributing to generally reducing the average timeneeded to perform business environment related regulatory requirements and contribute to RRPTarget246 on digital platforms on legislative transparency and procedural simplification for businesses.
