Romania investment and construction reforms

Entities: Cseke Attila · RMDSZ · Romanian Parliament

Overview

In early July 2026, Romania passed new investment legislation aimed at accelerating EU‑funded mining and infrastructure projects. The law was presented as a means to attract capital and streamline the approval of large‑scale development.

Later that month, the Romanian Senate approved a comprehensive land‑use and construction code backed by the RMDSZ minority party. The code consolidates existing regulations into a single framework and introduces a national digital “one‑stop” platform for building permits. It shortens permitting times dramatically, from several months to about two months for most projects, and sets contribution requirements for larger developments. Together, the two legislative actions represent a coordinated effort to cut bureaucracy, digitize procedures, and create a more predictable environment for both major infrastructure works and smaller construction projects across Romania.
