We have a turnover increase of over 6 percent, nearly 1.4 million employees in top companies and a steady expansion in the number of jobs. These results show that Romania's economic situation is not nearly as bleak as it is sometimes portrayed in the public space. The Romanian business environment proves its adaptability. Our companies continue to invest, to hire and to generate profit. The nearly 4 percent growth in the number of employees is a very important signal - the Romanian economy is not only holding up, but it is creating opportunities," CCIR President Mihai Daraban stated.From a sectoral perspective, industry and services lead the ranking by number of companies (34.41 percent, 28.83 percent, respectively), while in terms of turnover, trade holds the largest share (43.98 percent), followed by industry (32.83 percent) and services at (13.14 percent).Industry remains the most profitable sector, accounting for 38.68 percent of the total profit generated by the ranked companies, with a profit margin of 10.63 percent.Since 1994, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania (CCIR) has compiled the National Top of Companies (NTC), being the only institution authorized by an organic law to establish such a ranking at national level. For the 2025 edition, a number of 917,881 financial and accounting reports were analyzed, out of which 356,105 qualified for the competition for the top 10 positions, according to the methodology implemented by Chambers of Commerce across all counties.
