"Thank you to Prime Minister Dorin Recean and the team. The Republic of Moldova is moving decisively and irreversibly on the European path, through reforms, through hard work, and seriousness," Grosu opined.


Parliament ratified today with 58 votes the Facilitation Agreement between the Republic of Moldova and the European Union regarding the specific modalities for implementing the support provided by the European Union under the Reform and Growth Facility for the Republic of Moldova. The general objectives are supporting the enlargement process by accelerating alignment with the values, provisions, stipulations, and principles of European Union legislation; supporting the progressive integration of the Republic of Moldova's internal market into the community market; and accelerating socio-economic convergences with those of the European Union.

Thus, our country will benefit from financial support totaling 1.9 billion euros. This includes a grant component of 520 million euros, which is intended for investments, technical assistance, and credit guarantees. Additionally, our country will receive loans worth 1.5 billion euros, which will be disbursed based on the progress made in implementing the committed reforms.

The financial support will be granted based on conditionalities found in the Reform Agenda of the Growth Plan for the Republic of Moldova, which was recently approved by the Government. This contains 153 measures and 56 reforms, which are to be implemented by the end of 2027. The reform agenda targets seven key sectors: economic competitiveness and private sector development; connectivity and digital infrastructure; economic governance; social capital; green transition and natural capital; energy security and efficiency; fundamental values.

The Facilitation Agreement between the Republic of Moldova and the European Union regarding the specific modalities for implementing the support provided by the European Union under the Reform and Growth Facility for the Republic of Moldova was signed on May 9, 2025.
