The financial assistance provided by the Republic of Moldova to the United States of America is designed to increase the level of democracy, economic expert Veaceslav Ionita stated in the program “Fabrika” on Publika TV channel, IPN reports.
The expert noted that the assistance aimed at transforming the country has been the most important thing in the relations with the U.S. during the past 20 years. From economic viewpoint, Moldova holds no interest for the U.S. Exports and imports between the two states stand at 2%. “As regards the financial assistance that we receive from the United States, this represents 20-25%,” said Veaceslav Ionita.
According to him, the U.S. offers financial assistance to Moldova because it understands that if the economy of a state is poorly developed, the level of democracy is reduced. “The development of a competitive private business climate in Moldova is a democracy development instrument of the U.S.” stated the expert.
Analyst Anatol Taranu said the Republic of Moldova is attentively monitored by the politicians from Washington. “The United States of America offer considerable economic assistance to the Republic of Moldova specifically with the aim of helping it to bring this too long period of transition to an end so that we become a country that is able to build by itself the own politics and the dangers that come from different directions, first of all from the East, are stopped,” he stated.
Anatol Taranu also said that besides economic assistance, the U.S. provided enormous political assistance to the Republic of Moldova.
