Rule 144
Mircea-Gheorghe Hava (PPE)

The European Union took an essential step in supporting the development of the Republic of Moldova by approving an unprecedented financial package worth EUR 1.8 billion. The Growth Plan is part of a broad support project aimed at accelerating the process of Moldova’s accession to the EU, strengthening its capacity to implement essential reforms and stimulating the national economy.

This financial aid, provided for 2025-2027, is the most significant economic support awarded by the EU since Moldova became independent. The Growth Plan for Moldova is built on three pillars: improving infrastructure and increasing financial assistance, aiding Moldova’s integration into the EU single market, and supporting the implementation of fundamental socio-economic reforms.

  • 3.Which institutions in the Republic of Moldova will be responsible for managing and monitoring the non-reimbursable funding provided by the EU for local administrations through the Growth Plan?
