NOTE: The IMF has just revised its growth forecast for 2008 to 8.4%, since April when the previous figure of 5.4% was reported. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.4.203.20 (talk) 02:04, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


It feels like I'm reading an advertisement for Romania more than an analysis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.233.233.166 (talk) 17:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have totally the same feeling...It annoys me —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.130.17.219 (talk) 00:53, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody has any sugestions?

How to stop the series of vandalizations of this article (especially in the first infobox) by individuals who keep increasing "the numbers" without giving any reference? The article risks becoming a joke if this numbers continue to be bumped up.

I added this one "The average monthly salary in Romania is around €500" and I've taken this info from [1] as one can see I added the ref. As the rest, much of it is referenced in comparison with other articles. --NotRem (talk) 19:28, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


"Romania is the regional economic power, well ahead in terms of GDP as its neighbouring countries." Romania's neighbor Ukraine has almost twice bigger GDP. Tiger is short but is very proud by his size :)

It's not a tiger who is proud, it's a nut, but I didn't have time to decrapify this article from his influence. -- AdrianTM (talk) 04:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At least in 2006 GDP of Romania was bigger than its neighbours. See the list.

  • place 45, Romania 121,609 (millions of US dollars)
  • place 49, Hungary 112,899
  • place 51, Ukraine 106,111

Actually you can find this also in the article List of countries by GDP (nominal). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.113.151.26 (talk) 14:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are also interesting the future estimations of GDP for Romania. In all of them Romania has bigger GDP than Ukraine, Hungary, not to mention Moldova or Bulgaria. LearnratesX (talk) 19:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's funny to read that "Romania is the largest, high-income EU member economy of Central-Eastern Europe", when based on it's GDP per capita it's just recently gotten into upper-middle income class.Creionul (talk) 09:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Something else, please review all the "Agriculture" article as most of the statements are not true. The county of Romania has the potential but not yet the technology. And I am sure much more than 5% of country population works within this sector.Creionul (talk) 20:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please also review the statement that

list of wine-producing countries in the world. You will see that world wide Romania is only on the 12th position and other european counties are ahead Romania. Please try to be more correct for the next time.Creionul (talk) 21:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply

Yep, somebody shall correct these ridiculous claims. I.e. Poland has about twice as big GDP PPP according to its wiki entry, Czechs and Hungarians have comparable GDP while almost half of population of Romania. Moreover, Romania doesn't rank among high-income countries in the reference provided, so I'm removing this claim.138.38.221.134 (talk) 10:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article on the economy of Romania is nothing more than a load of cr*p. The tone is abnormally boastful and most of the information is totally inaccurate. I can understand the people who wrote this may want Romania to look good in the eyes of readers but I am afraid this is not best achieved through sheer lies. I have a good knowledge of the Romanian economy and I know there are some true and very positive things out there that should be mentioned instead of blatant lies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ovimunt (talk • contribs) 14:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current economic crisis

Someone with a bit more knowledge then me should write something about the current economic crisis. I think it's pretty important and there's nothing in here at all. Looking here you'd think we're the richest country in the EU, it's pretty surreal... --Helixdq (talk) 15:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the situation is bad enough to say that Romania is in an economic crisis, until we see some actual long term effect at least. --C.matei (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Romania`s economic growth prognosis for 2009 is -4%, but here it says +7% please change that.

I agree, in fact the finance minister predicts an 8% contraction. This is clearly painting totally the wrong picture. The same can be said as to the rest of the article.

Before World War II

Before World War II Romania was supposed to have had the third-largest economy on the continent, after Germany and France; a prosperous peasant society, exporting huge amounts of wheat and oil.

I've removed this sentence from that section since it had nothing to do with reality. Having a mainly peasant society and exports comprised mostly of agricultural products and basic resources like oil (which at the time had nowhere near the value it has today) is definetly NOT a good thing for a country's economy, btw.

Romania processed 95% of its own oil, and it was not basic resources, it was petrochemical products that were exported. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.84.84 (talk) 03:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to these figures by A. Maddison, Romania's GDP was about the 15th on the continent before World War II and GDP per capita was the lowest. And according to the same figures, GDP only increased by 15% in 12 years before WWII, so I have doubts about the second part of that section too (if industrial production doubled from nothing, it doesn't mean a whole lot).

I might try to add something to this section in the following days if I have time. If someone else is willing to contribute, that would be great. C.matei (talk) 16:41, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We've had socks of banned persons who kept adding this kind of things, thanks for keeping an eye on this. -- AdrianTM (talk) 16:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the trend, I am pretty sure that the author ignores the territories that were lost after 1945.
Nergaal (talk) 00:08, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

I'm not certain, but I think the author calculated GDP throughout history in the geographical area that is today's Romania. This would also explain why pre-WWI GDP was higher than post-WWI GDP.--C.matei (talk) 11:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of errors on the page. Agriculture is not!!!developed in Romania such as described. 62.143.120.66 (talk) 23:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Average Wage

The growing middle class section mentions average wage, but per week? per month? per year? I'm guessing its per month, but who knows? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.97.245.84 (talk) 00:42, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Energy section

{{

In 1938, per-capita national income reached $94, surpassing other present-day developed European countries such as Greece ($76) or Portugal ($81). However, the Romanian economy still lagged behind its Western European counterparts.

The reference is not a Reliable Source and [it's contradicted by this data](http://www.ggdc.net/maddison/Historical_Statistics/horizontal-file_02-2010.xls)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

GDP of Romania

Someone provides numbers higher than the real numbers of the source used. Someone has put values such as 402bn GDP nominal, 24.000 per capita and 810bn GDP PPP with 48.000 per capita, while based on the April 2023 IMF report, used as the source, the nominal GDP of Romania for 2024 is projected to reach 376bn, while per capita the value is to stand at the level of 20.175. In terms of GDP PPP, it is estimated to reach 830bn with per capita being 44.000. Those are the numbers accessible in the database of the April 2023 IMF report. As for today, we also have access to the newer report from October 2023, where the data also does not correspond with the numbers provided by someone Coartcord (talk) 09:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
