And a decade later, in 2019, my colleagues and I in the Collective Action Party – Civic Congress included this complex problem, as an element of political-economic tools, in the party’s program documents and started a public discussion.

“In 2025, growth is forecasted to be no more than 1%, which is almost stagnation. It was worse only in the 1990s, when the Soviet system collapsed”, the expert said, commenting on the results of the study “100 most acute socio-economic problems of Moldova in 2024”, Logos Press reports.
The new Moldovan government intends to emphasize economic development. At least, this comes from some of the statements made so far. However, when we talk specifically about economic development, it is also appropriate to ask what model will be chosen. The examples of economically developed countries and regions allow us to identify several possible options.

The eighth attempt to approve the capital’s budget for 2025 failed. Chisinau will continue to work on last year’s budget. It is not yet clear if and when another attempt will be made. But if the muncipal council fails to do so by the end of this year, the story will become a precedent that happens for the first time in the capital.
The National Bank of Moldova (NBM) takes inflationary measures when inflation is high. The law stipulates that the regulator’s main task is to keep inflation within a specified range.
