At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu held talks with several representatives of major companies – UniCredit, Mastercard, Goldman Sachs Global Institute and DTEK – to present opportunities to invest in the Republic of Moldova.

During a meeting with Andrea Orcel, Chief Executive Officer of UniCredit – a European bank operating in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Central and Eastern Europe – they discussed the firm commitment of the Moldovan Government to stimulate economic growth, improve the business environment, and strengthen the financial‑banking sector. “Our goal is to ensure sustainable economic growth that benefits all citizens,” said the Prime Minister.

The official also met with Mastercard’s Chief Administrative Officer Richard Verma. Mastercard has been operating in the Republic of Moldova for over 25 years, offering a wide range of financial services and electronic payment solutions for individuals, banks, and merchants. Munteanu praised the innovative solutions the company brings to our country in the electronic payments, digitalization, cybersecurity and online education – all of which support the objective of continuous modernization and alignment with international trends.

In discussions with representatives of companies from the banking sector, Munteanu emphasized that the Republic of Moldova is fully committed to aligning with European standards in the financial field, has already become part of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), and is increasingly implementing digitalization solutions.

Munteanu also held a meeting with Jared Cohen, President of Global Affairs at Goldman Sachs Global Institute – the research and analysis center of Goldman Sachs. The topics of discussion included regional security, energy security, the digital economy, reforms aimed at increasing investor confidence in the economy of the Republic of Moldova, and cyber resilience. They also discussed opportunities for developing the capital market in the Republic of Moldova.

“We want to make the Republic of Moldova a land of opportunities, and every investment, every company that chooses our country to start a business means better‑paid jobs and the possibility for our families to build a good life at home,” the Prime Minister underlined.

Munteanu also met with representatives of the Ukrainian company DTEK, which is the largest private investor in Ukraine’s energy sector, contributing to energy security, grid stability, and the transition to clean energy. The dialogue focused on the measures being taken to restore access to energy and hot water in Ukrainian regions affected by Russian attacks. “The Republic of Moldova stands in solidarity with Ukraine and soon, we will be sending humanitarian aid,” Munteanu said.
