Ads Boom in Romania

BUCHAREST -- Romania's infant advertising industry could grow by an annual 20 percent for several years if the ex-Communist country speeds up market reforms, an industry leader said. "I would put the current advertising market value at around $50 million and this could grow by 20 percent a year if Romania moves in the right direction," said Radu Florescu, managing director of BSB Centrade Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising. Private ownership and stepped-up privatization should be encouraged and this would entail advertising business growth. BSB Centrade Saatchi & Saatchi, one of the first foreign advertising agencies to operate in Romania, is a sister company of London-based advertising group Saatchi and Saatchi Plc.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
