One of the priorities of the government in Bucharest is the restructuring of the National Tax Management Agency in order to improve the collection of state revenues and significantly reduce tax evasion. In an interview to Agerpres news agency, the first deputy minister and finance minister Daniel Chitoiu said Romania has one of the lowest tax collection rates in Europe, while tax evasion ranges between 5 and 9% of the GDP. Last month, the Agency adopted a draft project to reform tax management which will benefit from a 70 million euro loan from the World Bank.

Romania and Estonia will hold a bilateral business forum as part of the economic component of the upcoming visit to Bucharest by Estonia’s president in October, said the Romanian economy ministry following a visit to Tallinn by secretary of state Manuel Donescu. In 2012, out of a total of 53 million euros worth of trade exchanges between Romania and Estonia, exports accounted for 40 million. A country with only 1.4 million inhabitants, Estonia nevertheless absorbed a significant amount of Romanian goods. Also, Estonia ranks 94 in a ranking of foreign investors in Romania, with 49 Estonia companies registered on the Romanian market in April this year.
