This was discussed during a meeting between Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu and members of the Board of Directors of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The parties discussed EBRD assistance for Moldova's development projects and cooperation priorities for the coming years. They reviewed the partnership's results to date and areas in which cooperation will continue to strengthen. Alexandru Munteanu noted that the EBRD is one of Moldova's most important development partners, playing a significant role in supporting reforms, economic modernization, and the country's progress along its European path. According to him, partnership with the EBRD means concrete investments in infrastructure, energy security, economic competitiveness, and improved services for citizens. "We continue to count on the EBRD's support in implementing our ambitious reform program, the Growth Plan, and in accelerating Moldova's integration into the European Union," the Prime Minister stated. The discussions focused on the government's key priorities: implementing the EU-supported Reform Programme and Growth Plan, strengthening energy security, modernizing agriculture, developing infrastructure, improving fiscal policy, and stimulating private investment. Opportunities for attracting investment following the EU-Moldova Investment Conference were also explored, including by promoting the country as a safe and predictable business location. The parties also discussed the EBRD's assistance in reforming and modernizing state-owned enterprises, as well as the development of cross-border projects that could contribute to both Ukraine's recovery and the economic development of the entire region. EBRD representatives praised the close cooperation with the Moldovan authorities and progress in implementing joint projects, noting that this partnership paves the way for expanding EBRD investment in the country. At the same time, members of the Board of Directors confirmed the EBRD's readiness to adapt its support to Moldova's current priorities, particularly in the context of the European integration process. The EBRD is currently financing 75 major projects in Moldova in the following areas: road and rail infrastructure, energy interconnection and efficiency, agricultural modernization, waste management, and private sector development. Since the beginning of its operations in Moldova in 1992, the EBRD has invested over €3.1 billion in approximately 200 projects.// 24.06.2025 — InfoMarket.
