“The Republic of Moldova is transforming at an unprecedented pace—aligning its legislation, institutions, economy, and business environment with European standards—turning challenges into momentum and complexity into opportunity.” This message was delivered by Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu to participants at the European Business Summit taking place in Brussels, TRIBUNA reports.

In his speech, the Prime Minister spoke about the economic reforms implemented by the Government, which are creating an increasingly favorable environment for business. He noted that despite multiple shocks, Moldova’s economy is not only stable but accelerating.

Key priorities include strengthening production, innovation, and investment-driven growth; accelerating the energy transition; developing the IT sector as a dynamic growth hub; expanding exports of high value-added services; and boosting domestic demand through real wage increases.

“We will address inherited vulnerabilities through a broad reform agenda: modernizing regulations, improving governance, and creating an investment climate designed to mobilize private capital and EU partnerships,” added the Head of Government.

In this process, Moldova is supported by the EU Growth Plan worth €1.9 billion—the largest support package in the country’s history. Over 150 reforms are set to be implemented by 2027, and the economic growth rate is projected to rise to 7% by 2028.

The Prime Minister also emphasized Moldova’s integration into the European single market. The European Union remains our main partner: 68% of exports and 53% of imports are with the EU, export quotas are increasing, and for several products, the market is fully liberalized.

On the investment promotion front, he highlighted the activity of industrial parks, the regional state aid mechanism, the launch of the Stock Exchange, and other achievements. Digital transformation and cybersecurity are also advancing strongly. Currently, Moldova is fulfilling the requirements for “Roam Like at Home,” which will come into effect on January 1, 2026.

“The Republic of Moldova is no longer a small market on Europe’s periphery. Moldova is becoming a platform for growth, a hub of digital innovation, a trusted partner in the single market, and a future EU member state—preparing with responsibility and perseverance,” declared Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu, urging the European business community to invest in Moldova.

This year’s edition of the European Business Summit marks its 25th anniversary. The event provides a platform for dialogue to identify the solutions the European Union needs to remain resilient, innovative, and globally competitive in the current geopolitical context.
