There are many things to be done in 2018 and the reform agenda is a very ambitious one, Prime Minister Pavel Filip said in an interview for the public TV channel Moldova 1, IPN reports.

The Premier noted that even if this year is an electoral one, the Cabinet aims to move twice faster towards the implementation of reforms. The Cabinet reshuffles were very important and were aimed at keeping the executive far from this year’s election campaign. The parliamentary majority assured them that the Government in 2018 will be kept far from political disputes.

Pavel Filip stated that 2017 brought economic growth and this favored the rise in public and social investments. Progress was also made at foreign level. “We reestablished absolutely good relations with our development partners, and I refer here first of all to the European Union, but also with our foreign financial partners, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. I’m glad that in December 2017 we managed to firstly sign the agreement on macro-financial assistance and we also had a positive assessment from the International Monetary Fund,” stated the Prime Minister.

He also said that the Delegation of the European Union to Moldova announced the disbursement of funds totaling over €36 million for five assessed programs.
