Moldova's Prime Minister Vasile Tofan announced the corresponding personnel changes within the government. According to him, Eugeniu Osmochescu has agreed to take on this complex and strategically important sector for Moldova, and his economic background and experience working at international financial institutions will help attract more resources to modernize agriculture and accelerate the reforms this sector needs. Meanwhile, Romanian citizen Claudiu Năsui has been nominated for the position of Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization; on August 25, pursuant to a decree by Moldovan President Maia Sandu, he received Moldovan citizenship. According to government data, Năsui studied economics at Paris-Dauphine University and finance at Bocconi University, worked in the financial sector—including at PwC and BCR—and holds the CFA designation. In 2016, after many years of studying and working abroad, Năsui returned to Romania and was elected to the Romanian Parliament for the first time. From 2020 to 2021, he served as Romania's Minister of Economy. He is the founder of the Open Budget platform, created to increase transparency in the spending of public funds, and has implemented reforms. "Năsui's priorities will be reducing bureaucracy in the government, addressing the problems of state-owned companies, cutting budget expenditures, and removing obstacles facing small and medium-sized enterprises. We want the Ministry of Economy to become one of the main drivers of state reform and economic growth," said Vasile Tofan. It is expected that through these two appointments, the government intends to accelerate reforms, make the state more efficient, and provide the economy—including the agricultural sector—with more room for growth. // 25.08.2026 — InfoMarket.
