Prime Minister Vasile Tofan made the proposal during a meeting in Chișinău with Karl Nehammer, Vice President of the European Investment Bank (Karl Nehammer), with whom he discussed accelerating projects being implemented in our country with EIB support, the effective use of available resources, and expanding the partnership between Moldova and the EIB. The discussion focused on the progress of EIB-supported projects in the areas of transportation infrastructure, energy, health care, education, agriculture, waste management, and forestry—including road modernization, the development of regional hospitals, and the expansion of the "Livada Moldovei" program. As noted, the shared priority is to accelerate project implementation and make more effective use of available funds. In this regard, the parties agreed to strengthen coordination at the technical level to identify and eliminate bottlenecks. The Prime Minister emphasized the role of the new Moldova Proiect structure in optimizing the management of public investments. At the same time, new areas of cooperation were discussed, in particular, the development of modern irrigation systems, the adaptation of agriculture to climate change, and the attraction of private capital. Vasile Tofan proposed that the EIB explore the possibility of establishing an investment fund to support agricultural projects and economic development. The Prime Minister thanked the EIB for its ongoing support of Moldova, emphasizing the importance of the partnership for the country's modernization. In turn, EIB Vice President Karl Nehammer highlighted Moldova's important role in the region and reaffirmed the institution's commitment to continuing to support the country's development and its path toward Europe. The European Investment Bank is one of Moldova's key development partners, with total financing of approximately 1.9 billion euros earmarked for modernizing infrastructure, boosting the economy's competitiveness, and improving citizens' quality of life. // 26.10.2026 — InfoMarket
