The transformation of active and abandoned land and buildings into profitable economic opportunities is being pursued in a partnership between the Investment Agency and the Public Property Agency. The parties have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation aimed at capitalizing on the state's unutilized resources by attracting investment. The Investment Agency will support the APP in promoting public tenders and exposed assets, addressing a wide network of local and international investors, IPN reports.
Investment Agency Director Natalia Bejan said that there are examples with complexes of goods in various fields - industrial, agricultural or social-educational - where investors have directly identified interesting opportunities, but faced difficulties in navigating state bureaucracy and turned to the agency.
"Our role is to give them the support they need to understand the process, guide them through the bidding process, and thus contribute to a win-win partnership. Investors bring capital and development and the state benefits from transparency, revenue and more efficient use of assets," said Natalia Bejan.
Director General of the Public Property Agency Roman Cojuhari noted that the state must become a reliable partner for investors. "When the interests of the state coincide with those of investors, we can attract resources to be reinvested in projects of public interest. More often than not, we identify assets that are awaiting total degradation because they once served a purpose that today is no longer profitable. Following market economy principles, we expose them to be offered into the right hands, to those willing and able to invest. Our goal is to deliver results in numbers that are easy to track, transparent and measurable for citizens," said Roman Cojuhari.
Between December 2024 and January 2025, the JPA organized three public auctions that generated revenues of over 156 million lei. Among these transactions, a land of the State University of Moldova, which had not been utilized for agriculture for years, was auctioned for 114 million lei.
The signatories expressed a firm commitment to cut unnecessary red tape and create an open and accessible process in which investors can participate with confidence.
