Romania’s high inclusiveness score (ranked 5th) stands out from all its other results.

Romania also does well on some tax administration metrics, for example efficiency issues (total tax debt as a proportion of net revenue) and the volume of online corporate and VAT returns. Romania’s regulation and fiscal and financial management scores are around the average.

The main indicators where Romania’s performance is less strong relative to other countries are policy making, digital services and procurement, although for the latter it does well on the metric assessing e-procurement systems.
