The European Union will allocate 1.9 billion euros to Moldova under the Growth Plan, of which 1.5 billion euros is budgetary support in the form of a soft loan, and 520 million euros is an EU grant, with €135 million consisting of guarantees to banks to mitigate risks associated with investments in the private sector.
The State Chancellery presented these figures, specifying that, in particular, 250 million euros of the total grant assistance of 520 million euros is technical assistance aimed at strengthening the institutional capacity of the authorities responsible for implementing reforms related to the reform agenda and EU accession commitments, and these funds will be managed by the EU Delegation to Moldova. 135 million euros is an investment grant allocated to investment projects financed through the NIP (Neighborhood Investment Platform), and these funds will be managed by project implementation units. Another 135 million euros consists of guarantees—funds that do not go into Moldova’s accounts, are managed directly by the European Commission, and are allocated to financial institutions as a tool to mitigate risks associated with private-sector investments. Accordingly, as part of the Growth Plan, the European Commission is using a portion of the planned resources as guarantees for institutions such as the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, or other partner financial institutions, so that they can finance projects in Moldova. // 24.07.2026 — InfoMarket
