In Moldova, citizens and businesses will have easier access to public data and will improve the protection of personal data
In particular, this is envisaged by the draft Law on Open Data and Reuse of Public Sector Information adopted by the government. This document regulates the procedure for filing and processing requests for the reuse of public data for purposes other than those for which they were collected. It also establishes the procedure for appealing refusals to disclose information. In addition, according to the draft law, institutions will be required to modernize the processes of collecting and publishing data, as well as reduce administrative costs and the time required to process requests for information. The draft law will have a significant impact on both the private and social sectors. Open data can be used to identify new market opportunities, improve marketing strategies, develop new products, services and businesses. The use of open data will also reduce companies' costs for research and information collection. The Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization will organize the process of developing open data policies, and the Electronic Governance Agency will conduct a detailed assessment of the government's single open data portal - https://www.date.gov.md - to identify the needs for its development and modernization. // 19.03.2025 — InfoMarket.
