THE INVESTMENT POTENTIAL OF SIBIU COUNTY

LUCIAN Paul, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu

Abstract:
In order to support its economic development, Romania offers various stimuli to investors, in accordance with European law. Recently, the Department for Infrastructure and Foreign Investments was established. It benefits from support from the Romanian state and encourages investors to come here and invest in areas such as: environment, energy, research, etc. In their turn, foreign investors analyze several factors and make various analyses between states. These interest factors are: costs with constructions and land, labour, the fiscal system, human resources, infrastructure, etc. Concerning the interest factor in Sibiu, manifested through the potential investors, the county is an interesting prospect for foreign investments. It is a known fact that FDIs create both positive and negative effects. Due to the fact that foreign investments are economic activities which take longer periods of time and which require considerable financial and human resources, they generate risks. In order to avoid risks, local administrations and governments in host countries must respect their promises.
