PM says Moldova receives clear signal of confidence from abroad

Moldova is receiving a clear signal of confidence from abroad and is becoming more stable, more predictable and more respected. Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu today made statements to this effect, after Moody's Agency had upgraded the country's rating to B2 with a stable outlook – the best level in the last 25 years.

“This is not a political opinion. It is an independent, technical assessment of how the state manages its economy and public finances,” said Alexandru Munteanu.

According to the official, for citizens, this translates into concrete benefits: greater confidence from investors, better financing conditions, more opportunities for development, jobs and projects in local communities.

“This development shows the direction we are heading: stronger institutions, real reforms, energy independence and clear steps toward the European Union. It is also the result of coordinated work at the institutional level: when there is coherence, responsibility and accountable decision-making, the results start to be visible from the outside as well. Moldova is becoming more stable, more predictable and more respected. Moldova is moving forward,” concluded Alexandru Munteanu.

Moody’s Ratings has announced the upgrade of Moldova’s rating from B3 to B2, maintaining the stable outlook. The B2 rating indicates that Moldova still faces economic and geopolitical challenges, but has demonstrated a significantly improved capacity to manage financial, political and social risks. In practical terms, this means better access to international financing, lower costs for external borrowing and increased attractiveness of the country for foreign investment and development projects.

 

Moody’s is one of the most important international credit rating agencies, assessing the financial risk of states and companies. Through its ratings, the agency sets an international standard of trust, influencing investment decisions and financing costs on global markets.
