Romanian economy moved, after the fall of the communist regime in December 1989, from the central planning economy to a market economy. The country has seen the process of a wide privatization which led to the increase of foreign investments, that reached 9.5 billion Euros in 2008 and then they gradually declined because of the European economic crisis.
