ROMANIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Romania, which joined the European Union on 1 January 2007, began the transition from Communism in 1989 with a largely obsolete industrial base and a pattern of output unsuited to the country''s needs. The country emerged in 2000 from a punishing three-year recession thanks to strong demand in EU export markets. Domestic consumption and investment fueled strong GDP growth, but led to large current account imbalances. Romania''s macroeconomic gains have only recently started to spur creation of a middle class and to address Romania''s widespread poverty. Corruption and red tape continue to permeate the business environment. Inflation rose in 2007-08, driven by strong consumer demand, high wage growth, rising energy costs, a nation-wide drought, and a relaxation of fiscal discipline. As a result of the increase in fiscal and current account deficits and the global financial crisis, Romania signed on to a $26 billion emergency assistance package from the IMF, the EU, and other international lenders. Worsening international financial markets, as well as a series of drastic austerity measures implemented to meet Romania''s obligations under the IMF-led bail-out agreement contributed to a GDP contraction of 6.6% in 2009, followed by a 1.1% GDP contraction in 2010. The economy returned to positive growth in 2011 due to strong exports, a better than expected harvest, and weak domestic demand. In 2012, however, growth slowed to less than 1%, partially due to slackening export demand and an extended drought that resulted in an exceptionally poor harvest. In March 2011, Romania and the IMF/EU/World Bank signed a 24-month precautionary stand-by agreement, worth $6.6 billion, to promote fiscal discipline, encourage progress on structural reforms, and strengthen financial sector stability. The Romanian authorities announced that they do not intend to draw funds under the agreement.

The financial data from this report are the ones officially declared by the subject with the Ministry of Public Finance data basis for 31.12.2011. As consequence, the responsibility for their accuracy belongs exclusively to the company.

 

 

OUR OPINION

 

based upon financial figures reported in the latest balance-sheet – 31.12.2011

- all figures are reported in RON  if  otherwise not specified.

 

 

Size

 

  undetermined due to the lack of  employees

Position & trend

According to the internet information, subject under investigation is the official company which operates under this name; Sheraton hotel is coming in Romania. Company was established in 2008 as the result of an agreement   with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.

The figures available prove the financial and economic situation of a young company which just started the activity.

The figures available prove small figures of sales year by year and consecutively losses.

Specific ratios are in a weak condition, proving a high risk.

Taking into account the above presented  elements  we consider that the risk involved is high and we suggest that any amount should be secured for the time being.
