Why Romania Rose to #2:
What This Means:
The Nomad Capitalist Passport Index evaluates passports based on five key criteria: visa-free travel access, taxation of citizens, global perception, dual citizenship policies, and personal freedom. Romania's spectacular jump from 21st to 2nd place reflects the country's growing global standing, favorable citizenship policies, and strong international mobility rights.
The Honorary Consulate of Romania in Kentucky is pleased to announce the launch of our redesigned website, featuring improved navigation, bilingual support, and comprehensive information about Romania-Kentucky trade and investment opportunities.
Romania continues to play a critical role in NATO's eastern flank and as a primary logistics gateway for Ukraine reconstruction efforts. The Port of Constanța has become the primary export route for Ukrainian grain, demonstrating Romania's strategic importance in European security and trade.
U.S.-Romania bilateral trade continues to grow, reaching $5.29 billion in 2024. Key growth sectors include defense & aerospace, energy equipment, agricultural technology, and cybersecurity solutions.
