Vasile Tofan reassured representatives of the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector of this. The prime minister discussed with them the challenges facing the industry. The government’s press service reported on the meeting.
As Logos Press previously reported, a draft law on BPO services was initially developed in Moldova. It called for the creation of a specialized park with a flat tax rate of 10%. However, the government decided it would be feasible to incorporate companies in this sector into the existing Moldova IT Park.
Today, approximately 6,000 people are employed in this relatively new sector. These companies provide employment opportunities, which is especially important for young people. However, the sector’s rapid development is not always regulated in a timely manner, which leads to problems. In this regard, meeting participants called on the authorities to engage in ongoing dialogue.
The topic of inspections was also discussed. The Prime Minister emphasized that the government advocates for penalties that are proportionate to the nature of the violations and opposes the use of force where it is not justified.
The meeting participants also exchanged views on new technologies, the country’s potential for developing artificial intelligence, and the measures the government should take to maintain competitiveness in the digital sphere.
