Summary/Abstract: The economic development of Oneşti Locality has been achieved quite slowly until the middle of the passed century, so that the settlement remained at the rural stage until 1956. The rise of Borzeşti Platform, as a result of an important measure applied by the former regime which assumed the country’s industrialization, represented a decisive factor for the rise of the new city and for conquering a position among the strongest industrial areas of the country. After the 90’s the large industrial entities faced many difficulties in adapting to the new economic conditions, so that the industry turned into a decline and services became the main support for sustaining the economy of Oneşti Municipality. A great part of the redundant employees from the industrial companies are presently acting within the service providing areas and have great possibilities for future development. Most of the active service providers are some new small and middle enterprises, that have been better adapted to the market economy and now they register profit. The economic position of Oneşti Locality within the North-Eastern Development Region could gain in time a really important position by attracting investments, taking into account the multitude of the raw materials of the area: oil, salt, wood, plus the human potential given by the young population and by the adequate training level of the inhabitants. Also, nowadays, the locality greatly contributes to the economy of Bacău County, which is deemed to be one of the engines of this development region.
