In his opening speech at the Republic of Moldova – European Union Investment Conference, Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu emphasized that the Republic of Moldova is entering a decisive stage of economic transformation, driven by its European path, reforms, and investments, TRIBUNA reports.

The Head of Government noted that the European Union’s Growth Plan for Moldova represents a strong vote of confidence, which must be translated into concrete projects, economic growth, and jobs.

“Today, we are not here to discuss whether Moldova has potential. That question has already been answered. We are here to discuss how quickly we can turn this potential into growth and how quickly we can turn confidence into investment,” Prime Minister Munteanu stressed.

He highlighted that European integration means clearer rules, fair competition, and long‑term predictability for the business environment. The Prime Minister underlined that Moldova is strengthening its position as a reliable partner for European industry, a regional hub for innovation, manufacturing, and the agri‑food sector, as well as a contributor to Europe’s energy security.

The Head of the Executive encouraged investors to seize the opportunities offered by the Republic of Moldova, emphasizing that the country is continuously growing, has talented people, competitive costs, expanding connectivity, and unprecedented support from the European Union and international partners.

“Moldova is no longer preparing for the European economy. Moldova is becoming part of the European economy. The best moment to invest in Moldova is before everyone else discovers what is already happening here,” Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu stated.
