State participation in the financial and banking sector became a serious research topic for me back in 2008-2009, when the state owned a controlling stake in one of the largest banks in the country – “Banca de Economii”.

And any political force that seeks to come to power not for the sake of personal or party interests, but for the sake of the country’s development should pay attention to them. And not just to pay attention, but to make the implementation of such initiatives one of the priorities of their activities in the administration of the state. Because it is necessary for people and the country.
