Overview

Over the last 18 months, Romania has been broadsided by the great credit crisis. Few could imagine that the problems of low income mortgage clients in America could impact so severely, half a world away. But it's now obvious that having started the race to prosperity near the back of the group, Romania is now gasping for breath. Political tensions and budget deficits have done nothing to help the situation of developers and investors trying to maintain and add value to their real estate assets.

In order to get out of this crisis, we must first envision what the future will look like and plan accordingly. What are the pragmatic strategies that developers and investors are now formulating? How strong is Romania's potential as a new business location? What can and should the state be doing to create a dynamic business environment?

These are among the more important questions that will be confronted at CEDER 2010, now in its third year. Economic, financial and planning experts will come together for a day of solution-oriented discussions intended to chart the way forward. Please contact Roberts Publishing Media Group for information about attending the conference, or taking part as a panelist.
