EGPRSP’ greatest achievement in 2005 was improving life standards in the Republic of Moldova

The deputy head of the Coordination and Monitoring Department within the Ministry of Economy and Commerce, Ludmila Esanu, stated that the greatest achievement of the Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction Paper (EGPRSP) in 2005 was the increase of the gross intern product by 6.2%, compared to the planned 5%. Esanu mentioned that several reforms of the central public administration were made in 2005, the authorities and responsibilities of the central bodies have been redefined, and the structure of the executive bodies has been changed to suit the governmental activities. The classified list of certificates for entrepreneurship activities has been approved in order to assure a clear and comprehendible control scheme. One achievement from the energetic sector has been the construction and opening of the 110 kW Anenii-Noi – Causeni electricity branch with the overall length of 34 km. The educational field showed a decrease of school attendance, the main reason being the fact that parents leave the country with their children, but the undergraduate study institutions have registered an increase in students. In judiciary field the National Strategy regarding access to justice has been elaborated. Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction Paper was approved by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova in December 2004, and is valid for 3 years.
