The Moldovan government has approved a mechanism for implementing and monitoring the Reform Program linked to Moldova’s Growth Plan for 2025–2027, as well as a mechanism for reporting to the European Commission
The document provides the responsible agencies with general guidelines for operations and reporting to accelerate the implementation of reforms. Thanks to this mechanism, authorities will have more clearly defined responsibilities, uniform reporting procedures, and a clearer system for tracking progress. Reforms supported by the European Union will be implemented more effectively, monitored more strictly, and better coordinated among the responsible institutions. Another important element is increased transparency in the management of European funding. The document provides for stricter rules on monitoring the use of resources, preventing double funding, and combating fraud and conflicts of interest. At the same time, the mechanism will allow for better coordination with European institutions and ensure reporting in full compliance with the European Commission’s requirements, which will contribute to the effective use of financial support provided to Moldova. Reports to the European Commission will be submitted every six months, annually, and as needed. “We have clear confirmation of the direction of reforms. The statement by EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, made during a meeting with members of the European Parliament, reflects a positive assessment of Moldova’s progress. “We have achieved a 93% implementation rate for the reforms undertaken under the Reform Program within the context of the Growth Plan. This is the highest implementation rate among all candidate countries,” Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu stated at the beginning of the government meeting. “This assessment demonstrates the seriousness and determination with which the government is implementing the reform program and aligning its activities with European standards, but it also proves that Moldova deserves its place in the European family and that we are ready to work ten times harder to achieve this. In the first half of 2026, we must implement 15 reforms, and in the second half—40. This means that within the government, we need to improve coordination and enhance efficiency and discipline in implementation,” said Government Secretary-General Alexei Buzu. As a reminder, in October 2024, the European Commission approved a Growth Plan for Moldova worth 1.9 billion euros. Funds are allocated based on the progress our country makes in implementing reforms. In 2025, Moldova received 289 million euros from the EU under the Growth Plan. The funds were directed toward repairing local roads in 100 settlements, modernizing 200 km of regional and district roads, supporting more than 200 local and regional projects, modernizing school cafeterias, supporting entrepreneurs and farmers, projects in the fields of environmental protection and energy efficiency, as well as the repair of strategic sections of railways. In 2026, following the successful implementation of 24 reforms, Moldova received a new tranche of the Growth Plan—€189 million, of which approximately €16 million is earmarked for investment projects. // 22.04.2026 – InfoMarket.
