Six months into Donald Trump’s second term as president, it is fair to recognize that he has won a complete victory in the realm of economic policy. At least by the standards he has set for himself.

A potential harvest of only 276 thousand tons was announced by the Moldovan delegation at Prognosfruit-2025 (Angers, France). This is an annual international conference under the auspices of the World Apple and Pear Producers Association (WAPA) dedicated to forecasts of these fruits. A modest forecast is putting it mildly. However, to declare more, and in fact to give out in turnover less is to mislead.
Until August 31, the National Museum of Nature and Ethnography presents the exhibition of the folk master Victor Pelin “Wood, Soul, Passion – the Life of Creation”, timed to coincide with his 75th anniversary.
The area of financial control tops the ranking of the country’s readiness for the EU accession process, while public procurement and freedom of expression continue to face significant challenges.

A whole cluster of IT specialists has emerged in the world who need only a personal computer and high-speed Internet to do their work.

Moldova’s real estate market is overheated. This is a given. Specialists and economists speak about it, statistics confirms it.
As of August 1 this year in Romania, the basic VAT rate has been increased from 19% to 21%, while the reduced rate, which applies to certain goods and services, is set at 11%.

In 2025, the sunflower harvest in Moldova will be higher than last year. Its price, judging by the market dynamics in the last months of the last marketing season, also demonstrates, albeit timid, but still, the potential for growth. Will these two factors be sufficient for Moldova to keep the ambiguous status of “pure and large” exporter of this oilseed raw material in the new marketing season? Or are there possible variants?
One can censure Viktor Orban, a friend of U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, for many things. But the Hungarian prime minister was not wrong when he noted that Trump had just “eaten [European Commission President] Ursula von der Leyen for breakfast” before our eyes. The agreed draft trade agreement between the European Union and the United States imposes a 15% duty on most European goods exported to the U.S. and a 0% duty on American exports to Europe. Obviously, Trump won the match – by a score of 15-0.
