Designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu announced Friday, during the “Jurnalul de Seară” program on Digi24, that Romania has finalized its process of accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Niculescu stated that the country is “very close” to full membership. According to Niculescu, a minor detail remains to be resolved, but he expressed confidence it will be addressed shortly. He further indicated that the formation of a government would streamline the final steps of the process. Niculescu’s statements suggest Romania is prepared for OECD membership, though governmental stability is seen as crucial for the finalization. The completion of this process signals a significant step for Romania’s economic and political alignment with international standards.
