March 2026 updates to Romania’s FDI screening regime: more clarity and simplification
Romania’s foreign direct investment (FDI) screening regime has been further refined through Emergency Government Ordinance No 17/2026, introducing measures aimed at enhancing legal clarity, strengthening national security safeguards and aligning the national framework with the EU cooperation mechanism established under Regulation (EU) 2019/452. The amendments expand the scope of review to include asset acquisitions in sensitive sectors, increase the notification threshold and introduce procedural simplifications such as shorter review timelines and full digitalisation of the filing process. By clarifying the interaction between FDI screening and merger control, and introducing targeted exemptions for certain intra-group restructurings, the revised framework seeks to reduce administrative burden while improving predictability for investors and authorities alike.
