CFO Survey Romania

Companies in Romania expect a challenging year, marked by cautious optimism and a focus on managing risks and costs, according to the Deloitte 2025 Romania CFO Survey, conducted at the end of last year among approximately 130 Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) based in our country. Most of the Romanian CFOs predict increase in revenues for this year (58%), but their share has been continuously declining over the past years, from 73% in 2021. Their expectations are in line with their Central European peers’.

Romanian companies anticipate improvement of macroeconomic indicators - gross domestic product (GDP), inflation and unemployment -, but seem to still adopt a prudent approach as uncertainty remains high, according to the Deloitte 2024 Romania CFO Survey.

Subdued economic growth, increased unemployment, high inflation, and higher financing costs for companies are just some of the concerns expressed by the 121 CFOs in Romania who participated in the Deloitte 2023 Central Europe CFO Survey.

Based on a survey conducted at the end of 2021, this year’s report explores the perspectives of Romanian CFOs in terms of economic and business outlook, climate change and digital transformation in the finance function.

The latest edition of the report, launched during the 2021 CFO Summit, was conducted among more than 100 CFOs in the country and it analyzes their views on risk, the economy’s ability to recover after the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic and their companies’ strategic priorities for this year.

The report presents and discusses the opinions of CFOs based in Romania regarding the evolution of the main financial indicators of their companies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and their expectations regarding demand, revenues and number of employees.
