Note that the decision came after Romania had been retained on the Watch List for three consecutive years.

Two Romanian companies, Banca Transilvania (TLV) and Nuclearelectrica (SNN) have met the necessary criteria to be included, starting from 21 September, in the All-Cap indices dedicated to Emerging Markets according to the classification of the global index provider FTSE Russell.
