Marta Kos says the Republic of Moldova is becoming increasingly attractive to investors as it follows the development model of states that previously joined the European Union. She made the statement during the EU–Moldova Investment Conference held in Chisinau. According to her, reforms, stronger rule of law, and closer ties with the EU increase business confidence and open new economic opportunities for the country, IPN reports.
Marta Kos emphasizes that Moldova makes rapid progress in the EU accession process and in implementing reforms under the EU Growth Plan. She states that the country has already completed 93% of the planned reforms, a level that surpasses other candidate countries benefiting from similar programs.
“Investments generate economic growth and innovation, and economic growth brings prosperity, and then comes the most important part: people directly benefit from these changes,” the European Commissioner says.
She announces that the EU receives more than 75 investment projects from companies interested in the Republic of Moldova. Eight companies sign letters of intent for investments worth about €208 million. Financial institutions also express willingness to mobilize up to €443 million. “In total, EU support generates planned investments of up to €640 million. Together with €364 million in private investments announced by the Government of the Republic of Moldova, the total value exceeds one billion euros. This is the result of your work,” Marta Kos says.
Maia Sandu says investor interest reflects recent reforms and the country’s commitment to European integration. She states that Moldova offers stronger guarantees to investors through improved rule of law, anti-corruption efforts, and alignment with European standards.
“When you invest in Moldova, you invest in a country whose future anchors in Europe. You invest in a country that adopts European rules on competition, fair treatment, and investor protection,” Maia Sandu says.
According to the President, the European Union remains Moldova’s main partner in economic transformation, and the Growth Plan worth nearly €2 billion supports infrastructure development, industrial modernization, and new economic opportunities.
Alexandru Munteanu says Moldova is no longer only a small Eastern European market, but a future EU member state and a reliable partner for the European business environment. He states that European integration strengthens institutions, clarifies rules, and improves the investment climate.
The EU–Moldova Investment Conference, organized by the Government and the European Commission, marks one year since the launch of the Moldova Growth Plan. The event brings together investors, financial institutions, and policymakers to discuss opportunities in energy, agro-food, infrastructure, transport, advanced manufacturing, innovation, and digital technologies.
