Tenders for all major infrastructure projects have been suspended in Moldova due to a sharp rise in prices, including the construction of 8 new bridges and 210 km of roads

Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Vladimir Bolea reported this during the “New Week” program on TV8. He noted that the sharp spike in prices for diesel fuel, bitumen, and other construction materials has jeopardized the implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects in Moldova, and tenders scheduled for this year for the construction of 8 bridges and 210 km of national roads have been suspended in the country. “We have suspended all these tenders; we have imposed a moratorium because we have absolutely no idea what prices to use,” Vladimir Bolea stated. He explained that prices for basic materials have risen significantly recently, and while bitumen cost 11,000 lei per ton before the start of hostilities in the Persian Gulf, its price now exceeds 19,000 lei. The cost of crushed stone has also increased. Diesel fuel, which cost 20–23 lei per liter before the war, has now reached 34 lei per liter. These changes have resulted in economic agents being unable to fulfill their obligations. Vladimir Bolea clarified that the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development has already held talks with the Ministry of Finance, including regarding contracts concluded in previous years, to revise prices in light of the current situation. “We have contracts signed in 2024–2025 under which projects are scheduled to be completed in 2026. We will revise prices based on the current market situation so that economic agents do not go bankrupt and are able to complete all projects they have started,” emphasized the Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development. // 07.04.2026 – InfoMarket.
