Romania Achieves Trade Surplus with Local Factories
Romania records a trade surplus in the home appliance sector, with exports exceeding imports. Ziarul Financiar identified nearly 20 major factories producing both finished appliances and components. There may be other facilities operating under different business codes (CAEN).
