In a public message at the end of his term, the former Minister of Finance, Andrian Gavrilita, wrote that he accepted the position to promote reforms that he considered necessary for the Republic of Moldova, even though he was aware that they would not be popular. He argues that the role of a minister involves more than economic decisions and negotiations with external partners, being a “deeply political” one, exercised in a “very complex and even hostile” environment, reports IPN.

Gavrilita admits that he made mistakes during his term, but says that one of the biggest challenges was trying to promote one of the most difficult reforms during a complicated period for governance. He claims to have been left with “a bitter taste” after the experience lived in the public space, criticizing the spread of false information both on social networks and in the media.

The former minister appreciates that the time spent on social networks, including by public officials, contributes neither to economic development nor to increasing the efficiency of the administration.

In conclusion, Andrian Gavriliță asserts that he will continue his work in support of the Republic of Moldova, regardless of the position he will hold. He maintains that the economy needs to be transformed from one based on consumption to one oriented towards investment, and public services must be centered on citizens. At the same time, the former minister wished success to the members of the new governmental team.

Andrian Gavrilita was part of the Government led by Alexandru Munteanu and was one of the promoters of the fiscal reform project for the year 2027. The proposed package, which includes changes to the VAT and the taxation and social contributions system, has generated criticism from the business environment, farmers, and unions, and the Government has withdrawn the project for additional consultations.
