“The economic model based on consumption and imports, which he had until now, allowed us to survive, but it is obvious it cannot be foundation for sustainable development”, said Prime Minister Pavel Filip during the Diaspora Economic Forum. The event took place on Sunday, August 21, IPN reports.
The official stressed the diaspora’s role in the economic development of Moldova, especially through the remittances sent home by Moldovans temporarily settled abroad. The head of the government talked about the latest measures undertaken by the authorities to ensure an attractive and prosperous business environment at home, including for potential investments from Moldovans working abroad who want to expand or open a business in Moldova.
Pavel Filip said these are steps towards achieving the government’s main goal – for people in Moldova to live prosperously and for those settled abroad to return home and feel good here.
The Forum gathered Moldovan-born businesspersons from 25 countries, in addition to government officials and local entrepreneurs.
