From January 19 to 22, 2026, the Head of Government and the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization, Eugeniu Osmochescu, participate in the 56th edition of the Davos Forum.
The prime minister will hold a series of bilateral meetings with political leaders and representatives of international companies interested in investing in Moldova.
According to the government’s press service, “during the talks, the leadership will promote the country as a reliable partner and a safe place to do business”.
On the third day of the forum, January 21, Alexandru Munteanu will be a speaker at a panel discussion on “Can Russia support a wartime economy?”.
“Despite unprecedented sanctions, Russia’s economy is showing unexpected resilience, generating growth through a wartime model of government spending and foreign reorientation. Analysts warn that this momentum may be waning, raising questions about the longevity of Russia’s economic strategy,” the conference proceedings said.
The Moldovan prime minister, as well as other speakers, including Romanian Foreign Minister Oana Țoiu, will be asked to share their views on “how new economic restrictions could affect the conduct of the war in Ukraine, revise foreign policy decisions and affect Europe’s security, economic sustainability and geopolitical influence”.
The theme of this year’s forum is “The Spirit of Dialogue.” Discussions will focus on the global challenges of our time: strengthening international cooperation, finding new sources of economic growth, investing in human capital, responsible innovation and ensuring sustainable development within planetary boundaries. Special attention is paid to new technologies, breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and clean energy, which open new horizons for development and require responsible implementation.
The World Economic Forum provides a platform for dialog among nearly 3,000 participants from more than 130 countries. 400 high-level political leaders are expected to attend, including some 65 heads of state and government, six leaders of the G7 countries and approximately 850 CEOs of the world’s largest companies.
