Moldova prepares for new 1.9 billion euro EU funding tranche
Moldovan authorities are preparing the second semi-annual progress report to unlock a new installment of the 1.9 billion euro European economic growth support package.
Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization, Eugeniu Osmochescu, stated that meeting the assumed targets is essential for the disbursement of the next tranche. This funding will provide vital resources for direct investments in projects benefiting both citizens and the national economy.
In a recent interview with Moldpres, the official emphasized that the Republic of Moldova is steadily improving its capacity to absorb European funds. The goal for the coming year is the full implementation of all agreed actions.
"Our absorption capacity is constantly improving. We are investing in dedicated institutional structures, professionalizing the teams handling European funds, and maintaining a continuous dialogue with the business community and international financial institutions," Osmochescu said.
The Minister added that the objective is to ensure every euro invested in Moldova generates real economic value, well-paid jobs, and long-term competitiveness.
The EU-supported Growth Plan represents the largest and most ambitious financial support package in the history of the Republic of Moldova. Valued at 1.9 billion euros, the facility agreement outlining the specific implementation of the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova was signed on May 9, 2025.
The release of the first 270 million euro tranche was previously announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during her visit to Chișinău in early July, marking the first Republic of Moldova - European Union Summit.
