The government approved the National Development Plan for 2025-2027; its implementation will require more than 123.2 billion lei.
As noted in the Cabinet of Ministers, the authorities are building a European country that is safe and prosperous for citizens and the business environment, and the main actions and reforms in this direction can be found in the National Development Plan (NDP) for 2025-2027. In total, this document contains 95 reform measures that will be implemented through 264 development projects. Of the total number of planned actions, about 39% ensure continuity of the National Development Plan (NDP) for 2024-2026, and 61% represent new reform actions. The operational part of the plan brings together a set of impact and outcome indicators for each overall goal, which will annually measure the impact of reforms on the population. The projected reform actions are expected to contribute to the following changes, which are estimated to be achieved by the end of 2027: increasing the average annual GDP growth rate from 0.7% in 2023 to 4%; increasing the share of loans issued to the private sector from 22% (2022) to 35%; increasing the share of added value of the manufacturing industry in GDP from 8% (2022) to 11%; increasing the share of tourism in GDP to 0.85%; increasing the degree of implementation of European standards in the economy from 5% (2023) to 25%; an increase in exports of goods and services by an average of approximately 13.5% annually; increasing net inflows of foreign direct investment by 4% until 2027; achieving a 3.5 point scale at the international level for the quality of road infrastructure; increasing the range of transported cargo and passengers to 20 t/km and 40 pass/km, respectively; increasing the share of the population with access to water supply sources to 92%, and to sewerage - to at least 60%; reduction of energy consumption in gross final consumption to 25%; increasing the share of recycled waste in the total volume of waste to 40%; expansion and rehabilitation of areas covered with forests and forest vegetation, up to 15% of the country’s area; reducing the absolute poverty level to 22%; increasing life expectancy to at least 72 years; increasing the population's access to basic social services by 15%; increasing the share of citizens accessing government services electronically from 55% (2023) to 67%, etc. In the medium term, it is planned to focus on modernizing the populated areas of Moldova, guaranteeing the safety of citizens, creating well-paid jobs, increasing incomes and the level of digitalization of public services. In the long term, the main goal and country project is Moldova's accession to the European Union by 2030. In order to increase the pace of reform implementation and ensure the efficient use of resources, the government has for the first time developed the platform www.project.gov.md, a digital initiative created to provide an interactive environment for effective management of development projects in Moldova. The platform facilitates access by authorities and development partners to relevant project-related data, providing increased transparency of development activities and the allocation of financial resources. It is planned that the implementation of the NDP will be assessed annually through outcome and impact indicators established for each goal. The results of the assessment will be included in the government's annual summary report submitted to Parliament. As noted in the State Chancellery, the total estimated cost of implementing the planned reforms within the framework of the National Development Plan for 2025-2027 exceeds 123 billion 204 million 705.9 thousand lei. At the same time, about 11 billion 671 million 290.92 thousand lei (9.4% of total expenses) will be covered from the state budget, 32 billion 745 million 404.9 thousand lei (26.6%) from external assistance funds, and about 78 billion 788 million 010.1 thousand lei (64%) represent uncovered costs.// 29.05.2024 — InfoMarket.
