Normally, the Carrefour network should be bought by the Romanian producers, who claim that they do not take place on the Carrefour shelves, by the PSD – on the model of the success of the Unirea stores – not to export no one profit, and why not, by the Pavăl brothers from Dedeman, to support the Romanian capital

In a period when everyone is busy with the budget situation, with the taxes of taxes and taxes and the discounts of expenses, the information given by the ZF has been unobserved that the French giant Carrefour, with global business of 85 billion euros, is in the process of reviewing the portfolio of external operations, and in this context, this context is not excluded. Moreover, a short list was formed with who could be interested in taking over Carrefour operations on the Romanian market, carried out by 450 stores of all types, with business last year of 14 billion lei, ie 2.8 billion euros. Carrefour is in the third place in the market, after Lidl and Kaufland. According to the ZF Top 100 most valuable companies in Romania, the 2024 edition, the Carrefour group was evaluated at 2.2 billion euros, but based on the results of 2023. Before we see who could buy the Carrefour network in Romania, if the French decide to sell it, like a parenthesis, I think it is a bad news for Romania as a geopolitical group. from the Romanian market. Romania still needs large, global investors, with names, which will give a certain stability to the Romanian economically, political and not least of the Security, in a period when we need even more security on our border. Until we see what will be the situation with Carrefour, we can put on the table a few names that should be interested in this network of stores, beyond the name with which the French group is already discussing. In a Romania in which the nationalist, populist, sovereign rhetoric gains land, in a public space where politicians claim that multinationals bring out the profit produced in Romania through the transfer price, in a country where the Romanian producers claim that they do not have access to the networks of stores controlled by foreigners, in a country where the imports are to do something, Romanians and foreigners, who claim that they do not take place in the Carrefour stores, who claim that they have to pay taxes over taxes, should join, hire a project manager, a team of bankers and consultants, get hands in hand and tighten 2 billion euros or even over and buy the network of carrefour stores. If everyone put 100,000 euros or even less, this money would raise quickly. If I manage to take over the shops, they can make their own policy, they can put their products on what shelf they want and at what price they want, and then they have no reason to complain. If they missed Profi's purchase, another network that was put up for sale and bought Mega/Delhaize, now they can get in the fight, buy Carrefour and make their own policy, put Romanian apples and pears, stop putting Polish apples, put only Romanian cheese. 2. The most interested in Carrefour stores should be the PSD, especially those from Agriculture, a traditional FIF of the PSD who, after the success recorded with the Unirea stores, where there should have exist the Romanian products that the foreign networks do not want to take over, Paul Stănescu/Florin Barbu/Liviu Dragnea/Petre Petre and Petre Petre Unirea stores at Carrefour, bring only Romanian producers, have only products made in Romania on the shelf, have a national price policy, that is to offer as low prices if current prices are high, eliminate transfer prices, make a profit and keep it in the country. PSD, which regardless of leaders comes with a speech that begins and ends with multinationals that take the profit from Romania and need to be taxed more, should get out of the background of their own influence circles (the Government's reserve fund, which it has divided with so much generosity Ciolacu – 65 billion lei, there is no more) to buy 2 million to the electorate that I do something practical in this regard, and not just hold speeches. 3. If we still want to strengthen the Romanian capital, the Pavăl brothers from Dedeman, the largest Romanian entrepreneurial group, should enter into fighting for the acquisition of the Carrefour network, especially since they have the financial power of acquisition, have experience in the field and can have political support. Very rarely, such business for sale appears on the market, especially in an area where shops belong to international networks. If the Paval brothers had the power to win the fight with international networks on the DIY market, I don't see why they would not be successful on this retail market. I do not know who will buy the Carrefour network, if the French will finally decide to sell it, but it is an interesting transaction, in which those who claim that foreigners have seized our shops and control the shelves and prices on the shelf, who claim that the networks support more imports than the internal producers, who do not take the profile, and I will not pay the prof. otherwise.
