According to legal sources, searches are conducted in connection to some contracts granted to companies belonging to members of the corporation\u2019s managing board or to some of their associates. The prejudice has been estimated at 90 thousand euros.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>INCOME<\/strong> Incomes in Romania have seen a 13% rise in the past 12 months, while consumption has increased by 10% against the latest cuts in taxes and prices, shows a balance sheet presented by the country\u2019s technocratic Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos after one year in power. By and large, the economy\u2019s growth pace has increased from 3.8% in 2015 to over 4% in 2016. Pundits have pointed out to the fact that pay rises have caused an unprecedented increase in demand for goods and services, which, in turn, has triggered an almost 7% rise in imports. Because exports went on to a much slower pace of only 4.3%, the trade deficit soared and that might lead to a generalized imbalance in macroeconomic indicators. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>EURO <\/strong>In order to join the Eurozone, Romania might need a yearly economic growth of 5% by 2024 &#8212; shows a survey carried out by the European Institute. With such a sustained growth, Romania might reach 75 percentages of the EU average in terms of the GDP per capita. According to the survey, the development gap between the states using euros and the others does not recommend it for accession yet. Because Romania\u2019s economic structure is very different from those in the Eurozone, the country would have more to lose if it gave up its independent monetary policy, the report says. We recall the initial term set by the authorities in Bucharest for adopting the single currency was 2015.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VISIT <\/strong>Romanian Foreign Minister Lazar Comanescu on Tuesday and Wednesday paid an official visit to Jordan. During the talks with his Jordanian counterpart Nasser Judeh and with the spokesman for the Senate, Faisal Al-Fayez several issues were tackled including bilateral cooperation and the latest Middle East developments. Both sides voiced interest in raising trade exchanges by developing new projects in sectors such as IT, communication, health, agriculture, energy, education and tourism. The head of the diplomacy in Bucharest and officials in Amman also talked about the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and the crises in Syria and Iraq. In another development, Comanescu conveyed an invitation from Romanian president Klaus Iohannis to the Jordanian sovereign, Abdullah ll to pay a visit to Bucharest.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong style=line-height: 1.6em;>DECEASED <\/strong>The Romanian football world is in mourning as 44 year old former international Daniel Prodan died of a heart attack on Thursday. A five years champion with the Romanian football side Steaua Bucharest, Prodan also played with Atletico Madrid in Spain and with Scottish side Glasgow Rangers.
