00:00 I'm very happy today to participate in

00:03 this closing conference for the catching up Regions

00:06 project

00:07 that the World Bank team has implemented in

00:09 very close collaboration with the European Commission.

00:12 But also working very closely with the Ministry of European Funds,

00:16 the Ministry of Regional Development,

00:18 and municipalities across the country.

00:21 For the World Bank,

00:22 this work is extremely important.

00:24 In fact,

00:24 it's central to our agenda in Romania

00:27 because municipalities,

00:29 urban agglomerations,

00:30 cities

00:31 are the engine of growth in Romania.

00:34 And so investment in these municipalities is

00:36 what will propel this country forward.

00:38 The future.

00:39 This is also where people live,

00:40 so the quality of life

00:42 of citizens of Romania depends on the quality of services in municipalities.

00:47 We are very happy to be working closely with DG Regio

00:50 because

00:51 historically about a third of all investments

00:53 in municipalities is happening with European funds.

00:57 And so this work today is extremely timely

01:00 as Romania is negotiating a new programming period with the European Commission.

01:05 And this work,

01:06 I hope,

01:06 will inform the formulation of the new programming period

01:11 and come up with better delivery mechanisms for investments to municipalities.
