Administrative-territorial reform should be streamlined as part of a large-scale fiscal decentralization reform, economists at the Expert-Grup think tank recommend.
The Government is preparing a decision on the transfer of a plot of land for the construction of the national road R1 Chisinau-Ungheni – border with Romania (sector Zagarancea – border).
Parliament passed the first reading of a draft law on amendments to some normative acts (“improving the mechanism of voluntary unification of administrative-territorial units”). It will allow decisions on the unification of mayoralties to be made by a simple majority of votes of local councilors instead of two-thirds as it is now.
In March, the government allocated more than 87 million lei through the National Fund for Regional and Local Development (FNDRL) for the implementation of the programs “European Village” (II edition) and “Europe Nearby”. The total volume of investments amounted to 65.24 million lei.
At least 3,000 people should live in a village, and the government plans to keep 10 out of 32 districts. At the same time, the package of financial incentives for the unification of mayoralties will amount to 6,491 billion lei.
The city authorities opened Friendship Alley in the capital’s Cathedral Square on the weekend ahead of the Easter holidays.
In accordance with the current regulatory framework, as well as the “almost twofold increase in the price of fuel”, the fare for public transportation in the capital has been adjusted. From May 1, it will amount to 7 lei, according to the website of the mayor’s office.
The rates of fees in Chisinau municipality were indexed by 4.7% this year. They will be applied from January 1, 2026.
During five years (period from 2026-2030), the WB project for the protection of the Dniester ecosystem will be implemented in Moldova. It is aimed at reforestation, as well as wetland and soil conservation.
Moldova occupies a unique place in European economic geography – and not a place to be proud of. The country is both peripheral to Western Europe and a donor of human capital to countries that are themselves peripheral. This is not a rhetorical exaggeration – it is a structural diagnosis that follows from a body of theoretical and empirical work on regional development, institutions and spatial economics. This article is an attempt to synthesize these works in relation to the Moldovan reality – without illusions, but also without hopelessness.
The Congress of Local Authorities of Moldova (CALM) issued a negative opinion on the draft amendments concerning the voluntary unification of administrative-territorial units (ATU).
The process of voluntary unification of mayoralties will become simpler, more flexible and more adapted to the needs of communities. Amendments to the current mechanism were approved today by the Cabinet of Ministers.
The Chisinau Municipal Council, with the votes of 27 councillors, approved the rates of local taxes and abolished the so-called sanitary levy, excluding it from the list of taxes that will be in force this year. This gives the green light to the procedure of adopting the budget for 2026. However, according to the councillors, in all likelihood this will not be possible until after the Easter holidays.
The parliamentary majority presented a draft Code on the Organization and Functioning of Parliament. In addition to limiting the time of debate in plenary sessions, it enshrines the right of parliament to suspend the activities of local authorities.
Two earthquakes were recorded in Romania early this morning, a few minutes apart. They were recognized by experts as weak and did not cause any damage.
To limit the harmful impact of substances with signs of petroleum products found in the Byk River, specialists of the Environmental Protection Inspectorate installed protective sorption barriers using special materials for their neutralization.
On March 22, the Bikers’ Alley was opened on Iurie Gagarin Boulevard in Chisinau, which should become a new attraction of the capital and a place of attraction for tourists.
Laboratory data show that at present the water in the Dniester does not pose a danger to the Chisinau municipality. This was stated during the meeting of the Municipal Commission for Emergency Situation. The specialists also discussed the information about the stains that appeared in the river Byc.
The drinking water supply was resumed today in Balti mun. as well as in Soroca, Singerei and Floresti districts. This was announced by Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu. He is making a working visit to the northern region of the country to check the functioning of the water supply systems. An intensified control of the water quality will be carried out in all the settlements where it has been restored.
Almost 75% of buildings in Moldova were commissioned before 2005 and built without modern energy efficiency standards. By 2050, the authorities plan to reduce consumption in the residential sector by 40.8%, and by 2030 to reduce energy consumption to 2.8 million tons of oil equivalent (or 3 million tons of primary energy).
