Minister of Finance Andrian Gavriliță took part today in Brussels in the annual high‑level meeting of the EU Economic and Financial Dialogue with EU candidate countries. The Republic of Moldova has participated in this format since 2024.

In his intervention, Minister Gavriliță presented Moldova’s recent economic developments, highlighting the return to economic growth in 2025 and positive signals across several sectors. He also pointed to vulnerabilities stemming from the external environment, particularly in the energy sector and resource price volatility.

“Despite external challenges, the Republic of Moldova maintains its macroeconomic stability. We continue reforms and investments to strengthen economic resilience and advance on the path toward European integration,” he stated.

The Minister underlined the importance of the EU Growth Plan, describing it as the main instrument supporting public investment and structural reforms. He emphasized the need to strengthen implementation capacity and to prioritize projects with tangible economic impact.

Gavriliță also reiterated the authorities’ commitment to budgetary and fiscal discipline, noting that the budget deficit is largely driven by strategic investments and the costs associated with ongoing reforms.

On the sidelines of the event, the Minister is holding meetings with officials from the European Commission and the European Parliament to discuss Moldova’s economic and financial priorities in the context of EU integration.

The Dialogue brought together senior officials from EU member states, European institutions, and partner countries, offering a platform for coordinated discussion on economic and financial policies in the broader context of EU enlargement.
