Moldovans who developed businesses in the UK, France and Azerbaijan are ready to invest in the Republic of Moldova, but want certain guarantees. Businessmen of the Moldovan diaspora made such statements in the program “Moldova live” on the public TV channel Moldova 1, IPN reports.

Adrian Dulgher, businessman from the UK, said that he already started to invest in Moldova by creating an animation office in Chisinau. He stated that he saw the progress made in doing reforms when he returned home this time. The people must understand that benefits cannot be obtained overnight. Hard work is needed. Though there are many risks, there are also conditions for developing businesses in Moldova. I will make effort to convince by business partners to invest in Moldova,” said Dulgher.

Chiril Gaburici, director of an Azeri mobile phone carrier, also expressed readiness to invest in Moldova. “Good things happen now in Moldova. There are many good projects by which the Government supports the entrepreneurs, especially in agriculture. It’s excellent that the state is ready to cover 80% of the investments in agriculture. But all these benefits must be promoted intensely in the diaspora so that the Moldovans working abroad know these things and want to invest money in businesses in their native country,” stated Gaburici.

French businessman of Moldovan origin Veaceslav Sheptelici said the businessmen of the diaspora follow attentively the developments in their country so that they could return with investments one day. More benefits are needed, including tax concessions, for the business environment of Moldova to become more attractive for the Moldovans living and working abroad.

Victor Lutenco, head of the Bureau for Diaspora Relations, assured that the Government will continue to implement policies aimed at making Moldova more attractive so that the Moldovans from abroad want to come home to start businesses here.
