The entire system of support for agriculture, in particular the means of providing rural finance and credit needs to be reviewed, so that non-inflationary solutions may be found. This paper will discuss the necessary reforms (directions and modalities) of Romania’s financial sector policies with regard to privatisation: (i) with special emphasis on accelerating the pace of the economic reform mechanism in the rural areas; and (ii) consider the possibilities of further decentralising Romania’s financial market and of improving the integrity between financial agent and client.
