The Moldova Noastra Alliance (AMN) proposes a plan for surpassing the consequences of the world crisis in the national economy. The plan was presented on Thursday, February 26, at a round table, where AMN representatives discussed the scope and forecasts of the consequences of the financial-economic crisis, Info-Prim Neo reports. “The shortsightedness and incompetence of the present governance don’t allow it to admit this, but, unfortunately, the world economic crisis has much affected Moldova,” AMN leader Serafim Urecheanu stated. The AMN leader maintains that the crisis aftereffects will be disastrous for Moldova. “What happens only in the financial-banking system, controlled by the governance, can bring us to a great catastrophe in the near future. It is enough to say that the Moldovan leu has no coverage, neither gold, nor other precious metals. Last week, 20% of the currency reserves of Moldova were sold, that is the only coverage of the Moldovan leu,” Urecheanu said. The AMN president finds that the banks have practically stopped lending companies, transfers from abroad have substantially reduced, constructions have been stopped, consumption of goods has dramatically reduced, exports are continuously dropping. AMN deputy Valeriu Cosarciuc, the president of the parliamentary commission for agriculture and food industry, said that the effects of crisis were felt in agriculture, processing industry, constructions, financial-budgetary system. “There are all signs of a deep economic crisis in Moldova,” Cosarciuc said. The AMN promises to implement many measures for diminishing the impact of the recession. Among them: increasing the indemnification limits on natural deponents to the equivalent in lei of 20 thousand euros, creating a national indemnification fund for the credits offered to small businesses, instituting a single quota of 7% on the assessment on income of natural entities. The AMN also sees a solution in initiating vast public works in the infrastructure, preponderantly in projects dealing with conserving energy, repairing social-cultural and healthcare objects, aqueducts, sewage, roads. The AMN believes this thing will enable reemployment of workers in the construction and industrial areas, and also those who return from abroad because of the crisis. The AMN also believes that the state needs to buy at auctions the excess of dwelling places in order to sell them in installments to vulnerable groups for a long-term. The AMN also proposes renegotiating the prices and tariffs of gas and power energy on the basis of the international market prices; raising the public procurements, especially from small businesses and households facing difficulties in selling the excesses of products; substituting the imported products by local ones; developing the processing branch of domestic, agricultural, and industrial refuse.
