The company intends to invest over €100 million during the first three years of activity in Moldova and to create at least 1,000 jobs during the next five years.
The implementation stage of the investment project of Kaufland in Moldova was discussed in a meeting of Prime Minister Pavel Filip, Kaufland Romania director general Marco Hößl and director of the project in Moldova Dona Raqciuga, IPN reports, with reference to the Government’s press service.
