Summary/Abstract: Investment in infrastructure is one of the main means by which state authorities propel the entrepreneurial environment and, indirectly, contribute to the increase of the welfare rates of their citizens. The mutual stimuli of the international trading houses and the political class from Bucharest produced, during the interwar years, a number of memoirs addressing the navigation on the Dniester. This river had become, ever since the 19th century, an important route for integrating the grains from Bessarabia on international specialized markets. This study aims to briefly present the evolution of the question of the navigation on Dnister in the years between the two World Wars. Extremely useful for the present endeavour are the unpublished documents identified in the Diplomatic Archives of the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and also some articles published in the press of that time.
