Pavel Filip called on the businessmen to continue to actively interact with the authorities, voicing hope that the new year will bring new results to entrepreneurs, the national economy and each citizen apart.
Moldova Business People Association president Vlad Plahotniuc said the current government is the only one that managed to deliver the promises made to the businesspeople and 2018 was the best one during the past ten years in the economic sector. “We want your businesses to prosper in 2019, in 2020 and many years on as better for the business sector means better for the country. Better for the country means better for the people and this is the goal that units us. If turnover and profits grow, the amounts collected into the budget will grow, the salaries will also grow, as will the number of jobs,” stated Vlad Plahotniuc.
For their part, the entrepreneurs said that owing to the reforms done by the Government, bureaucracy decreased and is it now much easier for them to do business.
