The Ministry of Economy guarantees the preservation of all benefits and guarantees provided to foreign investors in Moldova.
This was stated by the head of the department Sergiu Gaibu at an online briefing on Tuesday, giving some clarifications regarding the investment policies of the state in the context of the crisis in Ukraine. The Minister of Economy assured that all existing tax regimes on existing investment sites will not change. At the same time, the ministry is developing a number of projects to improve the regulatory framework for the activities of foreign investors in Moldova, which will attract new investors, as well as strengthen the potential for attracting new investments. “Legislative amendments are in the process of development, which will allow extending the term of the Moldova IT Park for 10 years. The new Customs Code of Moldova fixes the preservation of the current tax regime for SEZs for at least 10 years. We are also working on maintaining the conditions for the operation of the SEZ in the context of the obligations on tax regimes that were adopted by Moldova under the Association Agreement with the EU. All guarantees and conditions for existing investors will be preserved, and some possible changes may affect only newly incoming investors,” Sergiu Gaibu emphasized. He assured that investors should not worry - the conditions of activity in Moldova will remain comfortable for both local and foreign investors, and the Moldovan authorities intend to continue to ensure a favorable and friendly investment climate in the country. Gaibu also emphasized that in the context of changes at the regional and international levels, the authorities are striving to create conditions for overcoming all challenges and for seizing new opportunities. It is planned to reassess the industries and their potential in the new conditions, for example, some segments of the IT industry, the field of remote services, etc. //22.03.2022 — InfoMarket.
