VIDEO // Moldova completes 95 percent of actions planned to date under Growth Plan

Moldova has completed 95 percent of the actions planned to date under the Growth Plan, which provides for 1.9 billion euros in support from the European Union for development and modernization. The results were presented at the first meeting of the Monitoring Committee on the implementation of the Reform and Growth Facility, held in Chisinau today.

The meeting was co-chaired, on behalf of the European Commission, by Adrienn Kiraly, Director at the Directorate-General for Enlargement and Eastern Neighbourhood, and, on behalf of Moldova, by Alexei Buzu, Secretary-General of the Government and national coordinator of the Reform and Growth Facility.

Government Secretary-General Alexei Buzu said that the Growth Plan was the most ambitious programme for transforming Moldova’s economy. The official stressed the importance of strengthening efforts to ensure its timely implementation and that the generous funding provided by the European Union reached those who matter most: citizens, entrepreneurs and communities across the country.

“We want to amplify the benefits of the Growth Plan, ensure a more transparent and inclusive process, and connect more Moldovan entrepreneurs to the European Union market. All of this serves one simple goal: a better standard of living, more jobs and more opportunities for the citizens of Moldova,” the government’s secretary-general emphasized.

Adrienn Kiraly, Director at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Enlargement, Eastern Neighbourhood and Turkey, noted that “Moldova is at the forefront of candidate countries when it comes to implementing the Growth Plan, with a rate of commitment fulfillment exceeding 90 percent.”

“This is a remarkable result, and the most important thing now is to maintain this pace. The next six months will be essential, with many important milestones to be achieved and greater emphasis must also be placed on accelerating investments. You can count on our support,” Adrienn Kiraly emphasized.

Deputy Secretary-General of the Government Lilia Dabija said that Moldova had made tangible progress in implementing the Growth Plan after nearly a year and a half of implementation, completing 46 of the 48 actions planned to date, or 95 percent.

“The Growth Plan is about people and for people. These achievements, once reached, unlock each installment of the budget allocated under this component and show once again that Moldova’s team is results-oriented, focused on developing the state, meeting performance indicators and, naturally, promoting economic development. We intend to ensure even more rigorous monitoring of these actions through the platform of the State Chancellery, to communicate and highlight the visibility of the actions completed and together ensure that we complete all the planned actions in pursuit of our common goal: preparing the state for the process of joining the European Union,” Lilia Dabija said.

On the days to come, the European Commission will issue its formal assessment of the reforms that were due to be completed by June 2026 and will disburse, in early  October 2026, the funds corresponding to the completed milestones.

The Growth Plan supported by the European Union is the largest and most ambitious financial support package in the history of Moldova, worth 1.9 billion euros. The Facility Agreement between Moldova and the European Union on the specific arrangements for implementing the support provided by the European Union under the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova was signed on May 9, 2025.

According to data presented by the authorities, to date, Moldova has implemented 28 reform commitments and unlocked more than 500 million euros under the Reform and Growth Facility, the financial instrument underpinning the Growth Plan.
