The Government of the Republic of Moldova

Progress in implementing reforms, preparing investment projects and capitalizing on the opportunities provided by the Growth Plan for Moldova today were discussed at a meeting between Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu and European Commission’s Director-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations Gert Jan Koopman.

The PM stressed that, despite the multiple crises of recent years, Moldova continued to implement structural reforms and policies aimed at sustainable economic growth, in close cooperation with European partners and international financial institutions. In the context, the sides also highlighted the launch of discussions on a new programme between the International Monetary Fund and Moldova.

According to the data, in 2025 the national economy recorded growth of about 2.4 per cent, driven by the development of sectors, such as agriculture, manufacturing, construction and services. At the same time, an increase in investments of about 22 per cent confirms the strengthening of the economy and the growing role of investment as a driver of development.

Another topic concerned the implementation of the Growth Plan supported by the European Union – the largest financial assistance package provided to Moldova, amounting to 1.9 billion euros. The officials discussed the preparation and prioritization of investment projects, the involvement of the private sector and the strengthening of institutional capacities for their implementation.

It is worth mentioning that, after implementing the 24 agreed reforms, Moldova is to benefit from the second installment of the Growth Plan, amounting to 173 million euros, as well as additional grants of 15.6 million euros to support investments.

Both sides underlined the importance of ensuring a stable and predictable economic environment that stimulates investment and contributes to increased productivity in key sectors of the economy. They also reaffirmed their commitment to continue reforms, make full use of the support provided by the European Union, and build a competitive economy capable of offering a higher standard of living.
