The document establishes mandatory pre-clearance checks against national and European sanctions lists before contracts are concluded and payments are made for all contractors, grantees and final beneficiaries. Information on the final beneficiaries of European funding will be subject to mandatory publication.
These norms are contained in the National Mechanism for the implementation and monitoring of the 2025-2027 Growth Plan Reform Agenda and reporting to the European Commission. The document was adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers on April 22.
In general, the mechanism defines the institutional architecture for the implementation of reforms and investment projects aimed at strengthening coordination between state structures.
“The document combines reforms and economic development tools. Every six months the reforms are evaluated by the European Commission, after which we receive the corresponding tranche. We are already seeing the first results: in 2025, Moldova received 289 million euros – these funds were used for the construction and repair of roads, local development projects, support for entrepreneurs and farmers, increasing energy efficiency and developing the railway infrastructure. In 2025, we had a rather high level of fulfillment – 93 per cent,” the government’s secretary-general, Alexei Buzu, said.
As Logos Press previously wrote, based on the document, the European Commission, the European Court of Auditors, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) will be authorized to monitor the use of funds and the implementation of reforms under the Reform and Growth Mechanism.
