Entrepreneurs from Portugal: “In Moldova, there are many opportunities.”
“Our objective is to increase labor productivity, eliminate constraints, reduce bureaucracy and business costs, provide access to investment resources, and offer digital tools for business interactions with the state. We aim for Moldova to become the number one in the region in terms of ease of doing business,” said Dorin Recean.
The Prime Minister also discussed the 20 goals of the Government from the “European Moldova 2030” Strategy. Implementing reforms solely from these priorities could result in annual savings of 5 billion lei for businesses.
