Recent statistics have been nonchalantly recording the outflow of investments from Moldova. In early October, UNCTAD published a report on investment flows, according to which the volume of foreign direct investment (FDI) attracted to Moldova in 2024 was 3.6% less than a year earlier, amounting to $357 million. As a result, accumulated investments during the year fell from $5.46 billion in 2023 to $5.39 billion.

“The prospects for the development of the Moldovan economy remain uncertain due to the presence of many constraints and the lack of multilateral and well-thought-out plans for progressive development.” This was stated by Marin Ciobanu, chairman of the Association of Employers of the Manufacturing Industry (APIP), at a meeting of the Economic Press Club on September 23.
