Summary

Overall, country risks have been improving lately, principally due to improved tax collection and fiscal tightening. Nevertheless, we believe that for oil & gas, the environment is broadly supportive and, as such, supports our Neutral outlook.

Climate

The 2010 amendments to the Law on Foreign Investment introduced criteria specifying when the state would grant special protection to foreign investors involved in property disputes, providing additional guarantees to investors for investments of more than 10 million euros. Amendments in 2017 and 2018 extended state protection to December 31, 2019. The Law on Strategic Investments approved in 2015 offers incentives and fast-track administrative procedures, depending on the size of the investment and number of jobs created, to both foreign and domestic investors who apply before December 31, 2020.
