The event, organized by the Government of the Republic of Moldova and the European Commission, brought together high-ranking officials, representatives of international financial institutions and business leaders, becoming a turning point for the country’s investment climate.
More than 1 billion euros for strategic projects
European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos emphasized the success of the reforms’ implementation, noting that Moldova is at the forefront of the EU accession candidate countries, having achieved 93 per cent of the Growth Plan. These indicators have ensured high confidence on the part of the business community.
“Today we are signing letters of intent with the first eight companies, which implies direct investments of about 208 million euros. Together with financing from financial institutions and funds pledged by the Moldovan government, we will mobilize a total of more than 1 billion euros. This is a clear proof that Moldova is an attractive destination, repeating the successful experience of the countries that previously joined the EU,” Marta Kos said.
“The future is in Europe”
President Maia Sandu emphasized that investments are a driving force that will change the lives of citizens, ensuring prosperity and jobs at home.
“By investing in Moldova, you invest in a country whose future is anchored in Europe. Over the last four years, European investments in Moldova have increased by almost 30 per cent, and this trend is supported by the growing stability,” the head of state said.
The President singled out the sectors with high investment potential: agro-food industry, information technologies, renewable energy, processing industry and regional logistics. Moreover, she emphasized Moldova’s strategic role in the regional context, saying that, as Ukraine starts to recover, Moldova will become a natural hub for logistics, services and production.
“I would like to reiterate to our citizens and domestic companies: the European path means investments, jobs and a future here at home. Our daily work is to turn Moldova’s European course into real opportunities for people. So that all Moldovans can live in peace, security and prosperity at home, in a European family,” the president added.
“Get to the point” – a new economic philosophy
Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu said that for Moldova, European integration is not just a political goal, but a deep economic transformation. It implies strong institutions, efficient governance and increased competitiveness.
“We are building a Moldova where reforms are not a formality but an engine of economic growth. We call it ‘moving to action’, not just words. Moldova’s European future is measured today by the roads built, modernized energy infrastructure and financed business projects,” Prime Minister Munteanu stressed.
The conference in Chisinau, supported by the Investment Agency and the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization, continues with sessions of sectoral presentations and business meetings aimed at creating new partnerships. The aim of these efforts is to transform investor confidence into concrete projects that will provide jobs and prosperity for all citizens of the country.
