The necessity of attracting foreign investments into the Moldovan economy is not disputed by anyone. However, the country’s authorities do not have a clear understanding of how to actually do it, what levers and mechanisms to use. One of the effective, and at the same time quite accessible and efficient mechanisms was proposed by a well-known entrepreneur Mircea Baciu. What exactly we are talking about – in his interview with curentul.md.

The sugar market is not about “sweetness”, but about economy in its purest form: excess supply, rising costs and managerial mistakes are instantly converted into price. That is why there is always a lot of information noise around sugar – slogans “let’s provide the market with our own”, “the market needs protection”, “importers are enemies”. But the noise does not change the main thing: the market does not punish imports – the market punishes inefficiency. And today this is evident all over Europe.

The European Union is increasing pressure on the fashion industry: from July 19, 2026, a ban on the destruction of unsold clothes, shoes and accessories will come into force. The new rules oblige large companies not to dispose of leftover collections through incineration or landfill, but to look for more sustainable solutions – recycling, reuse or resale. The initiative is a response to the growing environmental burden posed by mass production of clothing.

All national teams participating in the FIFA World Cup to be held in June-July have been decided. Bosnia and Herzegovina, DR Congo, Iran, Turkey, Czech Republic and Sweden earned the last six tickets. Italy was once again left out of the qualifiers. The failure of Squadra Azzurra is even more crushing because they failed to qualify for the Mundial with more quotas – 48 national teams will play in the USA, Mexico and Canada instead of 32 as before.
