Romania-US financial regulatory cooperation

Overview

Alexandru Petrescu, President of the Romanian Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF), has engaged in discussions regarding the strengthening of the Romanian financial market through international cooperation and domestic reform.

In a meeting with US Ambassador Darryl Nirenberg, Petrescu focused on potential collaboration with American institutions, such as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Key priorities for this cooperation include anti-money laundering efforts, the establishment of regulatory frameworks for digital assets, and attracting American financial groups to Romania.

Expanding on the broader economic context at the GBSN Beyond 2026 conference, Petrescu addressed the necessity of financial markets that support long-term savings and investment. He noted that regulation must balance innovation with investor protection to maintain public trust, particularly as the economy is increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
