Moldova will develop investment map to achieve Sustainable Development Goals
This was reported by UNDP Moldova, noting that UNDP deputy resident representative in Moldova Seher Ariner met with Director General of the Moldovan Investment Agency Natalia Bejan and took part in a round table of the Agency's Advisory Committee. The discussions were devoted to the approval and promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) investment map, which will link investment opportunities with national development priorities and the SDGs. In this context, Seher Ariner confirmed UNDP support in creating a data-driven and forward-looking investment promotion system. As noted, within the framework of its programs, UNDP supports the creation and development of regional value chains - economic clusters, increasing the sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises, integrating ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles and circular economy principles into the private sector, testing and scaling innovations, as well as using the potential of the diaspora for economic development. It was emphasized that UNDP and the Investment Agency will intensify cooperation in the areas of capacity building, export diversification, and analysis of investment opportunities, including through the creation of a single investment portfolio of Moldova. At the same time, business partnerships between entrepreneurs from the diaspora and Moldova will be encouraged and supported. The SDG Investment Map is a market analysis tool developed by UNDP to align private investments with the Sustainable Development Goals so that financial returns are combined with tangible impact on sustainable development. Testing this initiative in Moldova gives the Investment Agency a strategic advantage by aligning the country's development goals with global investment trends and providing valuable information to investors in sectors such as green energy, infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare and digitalization. It also helps decision makers identify and overcome barriers in the investment environment, encourages public-private partnerships to ensure sustainable growth and creates the necessary preconditions for the development of instruments such as green and social bonds that attract international capital. // 23.07.2025 — InfoMarket.
