Three decades of Romania: Bryan Jardine reflects on a country transformed
Romania has undergone significant economic and social change over the past three decades. From its accession to the European Union and the development of its business environment to its growing appeal to international investors, the country has established itself as one of Central and Eastern Europe’s most dynamic markets.
Few have witnessed this journey as closely as Wolf Theiss Partner Bryan Jardine. Having arrived in Romania nearly 30 years ago intending to stay for just one year, he has experienced first-hand the country’s transformation while advising international and domestic clients throughout this period.
In two recent media interviews, Bryan shares his personal reflections on Romania’s development, the experiences that shaped his own journey and his perspective on the country’s business environment and investment outlook today.
