The Prime Minister made this statement during a meeting with a group of International Monetary Fund experts led by Alina Iancu, who will be working in Chisinau from May 7 to 20. According to the Cabinet’s press service, discussions focused on tax reform—a key reform for ensuring the sustainability of public finances and the ability to cover expenditures related to the modernization of the state. Macroeconomic policy, monetary policy, financial stability, and capital market development were also discussed. Alexandru Munteanu emphasized that the government is fully committed to advancing reforms and maintaining active cooperation with the IMF. The Prime Minister noted that, despite the challenging regional situation, the authorities remain focused on enhancing economic resilience and optimizing public sector management, reforming local government, major infrastructure projects, market liberalization, and digitalization. “The government is in constant dialogue with the IMF and is committed to promoting responsible policies focused on economic stability, institutional modernization, and enhancing Moldova’s resilience. We have ambitious goals, and we are determined to achieve them in partnership with international institutions and with the support of our citizens,” stated Alexandru Munteanu. The head of the IMF mission praised the authorities’ openness to dialogue and cooperation. “We will work together to achieve our common goal. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and we look forward to good cooperation with all institutions,” noted Alina Iancu. The IMF expert team’s visit is taking place in the context of negotiations on a new program with the IMF, supported by the Policy Coordination Instrument. The mission will hold discussions with national authorities and analyze recent economic developments, update its assessment of macroeconomic prospects and risks, and discuss policy and reform priorities with the authorities and other stakeholders. The Policy Coordination Instrument is intended to strengthen the dialogue between the IMF and member countries and reaffirms the Fund’s support for the policies pursued by the authorities, thereby helping to build the confidence of external partners and mobilize financing from other sources. // 07.05.2026 – InfoMarket.
