An increasing importance is paid today to the issue of foreign direct investment (FDI), which is seen as the main factor stimulating economic growth. The foreign direct investment has had an important role in the stabilization of macroeconomic processes in our country and in the revival of economic growth, although training and propagation effects were not fully exploited, there are some key points on which further action is required. In this paper, the author studies the connection and the influence that foreign direct investment (FDI) in Romania has on the Total employment rate and Labour productivity indicators, with the help of econometric model. With the help of the EViews statistical package, we have performed a series of statistical tests meant to provide a more accurate view on the evolution of the three indicators in Romania from 1997 to 2014.
