The WB will help Moldova implement reforms through budget support under the new Development Policy Operations (DPO) Program.
In particular, this program was discussed at the meeting of the Minister of Finance Dumitru Budianschi with the World Bank team headed by Stefano Curto, who is on a visit to Moldova. The parties discussed the areas of application and the need for technical assistance for the development and implementation of relevant policies. During the discussions, the World Bank team presented specific characteristics, priorities, the proposed agenda for the new program, aspects and considerations in the context of the program with the IMF, and the next steps to be taken. It was decided that in the near future the World Bank team, along with the Moldovan government, will identify the reforms that will be supported by the DPO Program and will identify technical assistance to support the Moldovan authorities in the areas of intervention. In this regard, the first mission will take place this week (November 15-19).During this mission, the WB team will hold consultations with representatives of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development and other authorities.
