According to the press service of the government, the Prime Minister of Moldova stated this during a meeting on Tuesday with members of the Foreign Investors Association (FIA), which became the first this year in the dialogue of the authorities with the business environment and at which were discussed the possibilities of improving the business environment, business development and increase in the number of jobs. The head of the Cabinet noted that the government has launched a number of tools to support the private sector in overcoming the consequences of the crisis, but stressed that efforts to preserve jobs should be tripled. “In the second half of this year, we predict the return of the Moldovan economy to growth, but the war in Ukraine remains a factor of great uncertainty,” said Natalia Gavrilita. The Prime Minister asked how the tools to support the business environment are being implemented and answered questions from entrepreneurs. “The quality of crisis management over the past year has exceeded expectations and deserves our respect. The government managed to get through a series of overlapping crises, security, energy, etc.,” said Alexander Koss, president of the Foreign Investors Association.
