Moldovan PM has meeting with businesspeople from Balti

Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu, on a working visit to Balti, has met representatives of the business community, at a time when the government aims to accelerate regional economic development and diversify entrepreneurial activities in Moldova.

The PM stressed that the state has the obligation to listen to the voice of those who invest, create jobs and keep the economy moving, and that public policies must be built proceeding from realities on the ground, not from offices.

“We want to understand very clearly what entrepreneurs’ needs are and what they expect from state institutions. At the same time, we want to hear concrete recommendations on how the government, public institutions and the external partners of Moldova can more actively contribute to the development of the business environment,” the prime minister stated.

The PM reiterated the government’s objective to transform the Organization for Entrepreneurship Development into a key institution for entrepreneurs in Moldova — a real partner for those who invest, produce and grow the country’s economy.

The prime minister also noted the large presence of women entrepreneurs at the meeting, emphasizing that the involvement of women in economic and investment processes is a clear sign of a modern and European society.

“I am truly glad to see so many women involved in business, investment and decision-making processes. This is exactly the model of society we want to move towards — a society in which people have equal chances to prove themselves through work and initiative. This is also one of the important lessons offered to us by the European Union: real development happens where there are equal opportunities and broad involvement in the economy,” said Alexandru Munteanu.
