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.

In recent years, the process of changing the global economic paradigm has accelerated: neoliberalism, imposed by the global financial oligarchy as a system for extracting all possible resources from all the world’s economies for its benefit, has exhausted its institutional capacity. Financial imperialism has long understood (or at least understood from the start) that the time will come when it will have to abandon this paradigm, which grants it monopoly control over the global economy, and replace it with a different paradigm that will also ensure the same monopoly control over the global economy.
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.

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.

During the period of pre-election battles, there are many initiatives and proposals on the topic “How we should settle Moldova”. Among them there are outright populist, initially unrealistic and unrealizable. But there are also quite a number of well-considered solutions to the most pressing problems for the country. Which should be solved not because some political force wants it, but because of the obviousness and necessity for the country. And any political force that seeks to come to power not for the sake of personal or party interests, but for the sake of the country’s development should pay attention to them. And not just to pay attention, but to make the implementation of such initiatives one of the priorities of their activities in the administration of the state. Because it is necessary for people and the country.
