This unprecedented investment plan will boost our country’s economy and create jobs, recognizing the progress we’ve made in recent years.
“We have the support to develop, and in the coming years, we need to work hard and unite our efforts to ensure this financial aid package raises the well-being of all our citizens and helps us modernize the country quickly. We should all contribute—state institutions, unions, employers, businesses, and each citizen—to this ambitious plan. We all want well-paying jobs in Moldova, so people choose to work here at home,” said Sandu.
