Government updates privatization rules and list of state-owned assets

Assets that public institutions still need will remain state-owned, while those no longer used for their intended purpose may be sold through auctions. The Government has approved amendments regarding the management and privatization of state-owned assets.

“The purpose of the draft is to ensure accurate asset records, clarify the legal status of assets, and create the necessary conditions for the efficient use of state property,” said APP Director Ion Dodon.

Accordingly, auctions have been established as the privatization method for several assets already included on the list of assets subject to privatization. These include approximately 27 hectares of land in the municipality of Chisinau, real estate complexes in the city of Vatra, as well as land in Stauceni and Ungheni District. Selling through auctions will ensure process transparency, competition among potential buyers, and the possibility of obtaining a price as close as possible to market value.

At the same time, the list of assets subject to privatization is being expanded to include four properties that are no longer used for their intended purpose by public institutions. Another six entries are being removed from the list, including at the request of authorities that still need these assets to carry out their activities.

Through these measures, the Government seeks to manage state property more efficiently, protect assets needed by public institutions, and ensure the transparent use of those available for privatization.
