Romania and Turkey More Attractive for Investors than Bulgaria17 April 2008, Thursday Romania ranks first, Turkey second, and Bulgaria third as the most attractive country for foreign investors in Southeast Europe according to a research of Ernst&Young Turkey, the regional unit of one of the four biggest global auditing firms. Romania, Turkey, and Bulgaria are the three top destinations for foreign investors in Southeast Europe according to Ernst&Young. Turkey is trying to topple Romania from the first place. According to the research, it has a balanced investment profile taking into account its internal market, infrastructure, telecommunications, standard of living, price of labor, transparency, and stability. Ernst&Young recommends that Turkey preserve its political stability in order to continue being attractive for foreign investors. About 800 businessmen and investors were questioned for the survey. www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=92344

They are being a bit stingy in this news flash, arent they? If I am not mistaking it with a different survey, Ernst&Young also pointed out a "reality and image" ranking in where Turkey may hold 2nd place in the image ranking but 3rd in the real one while Bulgaria was seen as 4th based on image but 2nd in reality. Greece was placed 3rd in image but 5th in the reality,Serbia was 5th in image(4th in reality) while Romania is 1st in both. This would imply that Turkey and Greece's investment attractiveness is being over-estimated while Bulgaria's and to some extend Serbia's is under-estimated.
Generally, Greece naturally has a lead among the other 4 with its (much) better R&D environment, high quality of life and infrastructure. Turkey's advantage compared to the other 4 is its large domestic market but its political stability(as roughly pointed above) is the biggest concern to investors. Bulgaria and Romania generally seemed to face similar challenges but while the former is slightly more attractive in terms of labour costs, the latter is perceived to offer slightly more skilled workforce.

The skilled Romanians all emigrated and are now working for the likes of Microsoft and Google. The semi-skilled ones went to Denmark to help with salting the fish.

Yep, but my skill is my own and I owe it to no one. I'm not in debt to my country and no one can question me why I'm not serving it with better purposes.

A slave that escapes to freedom doesn't owe anything to his former master. It's the other way around. This is some idealistic point of view. In reality some slaves buy their freedom. Runaway slaves get punished, and people who help them get fined. Sometimes a slave can change his master - Sweden instead of Romania - but he remains slave.
