The European Union is currently assessing the reforms carried out by the Republic of Moldova until June 2026, and the results of this evaluation will form the basis of the decision to disburse a new tranche of 157 million euros from the Growth Plan. The statement was made on Thursday, in Chisinau, by the European Commissioner for Economy and Productivity, Implementation and Simplification, Valdis Dombrovskis, during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Vasile Tofan, reports IPN.
The European official mentioned that Moldova has already received over 500 million euros in grants through the Growth Plan, with a total value of 1.9 billion euros. According to him, another 40 reforms must be implemented by December, and another 57 are planned for 2027. Among these are reforms concerning state enterprises and public administration.
In turn, Prime Minister Vasile Tofan stated that the authorities aim to open all negotiation clusters by the end of the year and to advance towards signing the EU Accession Treaty by the end of 2028.
He specified that delays in some capital investment projects are the main issue at this moment. To accelerate implementation, the Government intends to centralize the functions of several agencies into a single structure.
At the same time, the authorities are to present to European partners the latest projects proposed for funding and demonstrate that the new structure will enhance the implementation capacity.
