More than 5 billion lei has been invested in Moldova's economy under the Investment Attraction Program 373 - ODA
According to the Organization for Entrepreneurship Development, 824 entrepreneurs from across the country received financing on preferential terms under the government's Investment Attraction Program 373. The total amount of loans provided exceeded 3.4 billion lei, which attracted more than 5 billion lei in investments to the national economy. The projects supported by the program cover all regions of Moldova. The largest investments were made in the Central region and Chisinau municipality – over 1.7 billion lei each. The Northern region attracted 843 million lei in investments, and the Southern region, including the Gagauzia ATU, attracted 505 million lei. Most of the investments (42%) were directed to energy production and supply, followed by manufacturing (16%), transport, and storage (15%). Significant funds were also allocated to health, education, and leisure. Currently, more than 12 thousand people are employed by companies supported by Program 373, and 2,462 more jobs are planned to be created in the near future. Launched in July 2023, the program is constantly being adapted to better meet the needs of entrepreneurs. Access to financing has been expanded and procedures simplified. Currently, trade enterprises (except those trading in alcohol and tobacco products) and vehicle maintenance enterprises can also join the program. The maximum loan amount has been increased from 15 million to 40 million lei. In addition, up to 30% of the project cost can be used to purchase raw materials and supplies necessary for production or service provision. Thanks to the Loan Guarantee Fund, the maximum guarantee amount has been increased from 40% to 80% of the loan amount. Program 373 is available at all banks in the country.
