This was revealed by the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization Eugeniu Osmochescu on the platforms of the Davos Forum.
“There are Chinese investments in Moldova and we are open to Chinese investments, as well as to investments from other countries. Of course, we will concentrate more on European investments, but Chinese investments are welcome, especially in agriculture. The green agenda – why not?”, Osmochescu said in an interview with the European representative office of the China Global Television Network (CGTN Europe).
Answering the journalist’s question about Russian investments against the background of international sanctions, the minister said that the Moldovan authorities scrutinize each investment and each country individually: “Moldova is open for all investments, but, of course, we have to consider each individual investment and each country. We, as a small country, declare that we respect the international sanctions and fully follow the entire legal and institutional framework that was created during the four years of war,” Osmochescu said.
The deputy prime minister emphasized Moldova’s willingness to create transparent and predictable conditions for business: “First, it is deregulation. This is what we will do in 2026. These are simplified rules for the private sector. These are transparent rules, less pressure on business, which ultimately reflects on the benefits for society, for citizens. And we are not just talking about foreign direct investment. We are talking about local investment, local business. These are predictable rules, transparent rules and compliance with the law,” said the Minister of Economy.
Among Moldova’s economic achievements, Osmochescu mentioned the first fully digitalized industrial park in the country and in Europe, where more than 2,000 companies benefit from a unique tax rate.
Deputy Prime Minister urged international investors to see for themselves the country’s openness: “Come to Moldova, a small country with a big heart, which has proved its ability to act, to help its neighbors and to coordinate efforts with Europe. We are open for partnership with those who share an interest in sustainable development and the green agenda.”
In Davos, Osmochescu also took part in the GovTech panel discussions organized at the Estonia Davos House on the theme “GovTech at scale: managing the AI era, not just the digitalization of the past”. There, he spoke about Moldova’s digitalization, GovTech implementation and IT infrastructure development at the national level.
