14 SUCCESS STORIES Financial institutions ICT Industry
15 INVESTMENT CHALLENGES Challenges No branch concept available Restrictions on acquisition of agricultural land by foreign companies and individuals Limited VAT refund opportunities Fiscal and customs policy- limited practice in dealing with international tax concepts (e.g. PE, royalty) Investment litigations - rather formal approach of state authorities Certain non-business friendly tax provisions (e.g. limited CIT and VAT deduction available for some expenses/aquisitions) Liquidation of company not a straightforward exercise Workforce development and lack of medium and highly skilled workers, especially in the rural environment Limited availability of industrial, transport and commercial infrastructure High costs for industrial infrastructure s, difficulty in obtaining construction permits and connecting to the electricity grid.
16 CONCLUSION Opportunities that can be capitalised Geographical closeness and lack of linguistic barriers offering the possibility of integration in the technological chains of FDI firms located in Romania (especially North East region) and Ukraine (especially Odessa); Rising global and regional demand for business services and software development; Increasing delocalization trends of Central European firms in automotive industry, garment and footwear industry, and electronics; The implementation of the Association Agreement could facilitate the international trade and tackle the competition issues. Important considerations Government open approach towards investors EU integration agenda Favourable fiscal environment Relatively low employment costs
