Prime Minister attends Benelux - Moldova Business Forum

Prime Minister Dorin Recean participated in Benelux - Moldova Business Forum 2025. He spoke to entrepreneurs from Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg (Benelux) about the areas in which they can invest in the Republic of Moldova.

 

The Prime Minister invited companies from Benelux countries to explore sectors with high growth potential, such as modern agriculture, pharmaceuticals and IT. A particular opportunity is the opening of businesses in IT parks, which offer entrepreneurs a favorable tax regime. “In IT park there are still unexplored opportunities, which are not limited to IT, we aim to have a seamless experience for high potential export services. For capital-intensive industries, we have a new state aid scheme,” he said.

 

The official referred to the rating of Fitch Agency, which recently reconfirmed the economy of the Republic of Moldova as one with a stable outlook. “The Republic of Moldova is engaged in policies of macroeconomic and financial stability, has begun negotiations for EU accession, and will benefit from unprecedented assistance of 1.9 billion euros from the European Union to facilitate economic growth,” he said.

 

“All this, considering the war in Ukraine. Therefore, we expect a rating at least one level higher once a sustainable peace is achieved,” he said.

 

Benelux is the third largest investor in Moldova, after the stock of foreign direct investments. About 30 companies participate in Benelux - Moldova 2025 Business Forum, held on March 11-12. The event includes sectoral debate sessions focused on agriculture, manufacturing and services, as well as personalized B2B sessions for promoting strategic partnerships with potential investors.
