Romania Pushes to Finish Recovery Projects by Deadline

Romania is racing to complete 3,000 projects funded by its National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) before the August 31, 2026 deadline. The push comes as Romanian companies report mixed business news: Banca Transilvania posted a 26.8% higher net profit in the first half of 2026, two more Romanian firms are set to join FTSE Global All Cap indices, and a Romanian company opened a EUR 7.4 million glass recycling plant using Recovery and Resilience Facility financing. An Uber analysis also revealed different mobility patterns across 39 Romanian cities.
