Major investors are predicting the collapse of the neural network economy in its current form. Billionaire Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has predicted the deflation of the artificial intelligence bubble. The reasons will be related not so much to the financial failure of companies working in this field, but to the banal desire of investors to lock in profits. All the signs of retreat are already in place. Meanwhile, a downturn in the AI sector could hit the broader economy: first of all, the American economy, but eventually the global economy as well.
The initiative of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, proposing to introduce the status of “associate member” for Moldova, Ukraine and Western Balkan countries, is regarded by experts as a creative but purely political solution, which risks turning the path to full membership into a “receivership” for an indefinite period of time.

The government is establishing territorial education agencies, which will take over the management of schools from the district councils. These agencies will report directly to the Ministry of Education and Enlightenment. The authorities explain the reform by the need to, among other things, “depoliticize” the local education system, while the opposition calls it “centralization”.
This opinion was expressed by Moldovan economist and analyst Sergei Banari in the project of the Belarusian news agency BelTA “In theme.

The Transnistrian issue can be solved only through dialog and a realistic approach, and the lack of communication can generate even more distrust between the two banks of the Nistru River.
The increase of the prime rate by the National Bank of Moldova from 5% to 6.5% has caused mixed reactions among MPs. Some consider the measure necessary to curb inflation, while others warn of negative consequences for investment, lending and living standards.
Moldova is becoming increasingly dependent on external financing. At the same time, reform-driven financial instruments are increasingly being replaced by “politicized financing”, with economic criteria taking a back seat. This can be considered the beginning of a dangerous slide for the country.
In early March, the National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE) extended until the end of June the decision to appoint Moldovagaz JSC responsible for ensuring gas supply to the Transnistrian region. Earlier, in 2023, ANRE revoked the license for natural gas transportation from the Moldovan-Russian company, giving this function to a subsidiary of the Romanian state operator Transgaz. And in 2025 – the license for supply, which is now handled by the Moldovan state-owned company Energocom.

When talking about Venezuela, everything is reduced to the slogan: “The U.S. came for oil”. This is convenient, but fundamentally wrong. Venezuela is not a “banana republic” that you can carry under your arm. Yes, it has colossal reserves (about 303 billion barrels), but due to years of devastation, the country produces only 1% of the world’s oil.
“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.
