The three major problems of the economy of the Republic of Moldova are insufficient demand in the market, financial difficulties, and the lack of qualified labor force, says Stas Madan, an expert at the Independent Analytical Center Expert-Grup in Chișinău.

The Republic of Moldova is facing three major economic problems, according to expert Stas Madan: insufficient market demand, financial difficulties, and a lack of skilled labor. The new prime minister, Alexandru Munteanu, with experience in investments, will need to prioritize boosting productivity and exports to balance the external payments. Additionally, attracting foreign direct investments remains a challenge in the context of regional instability. The expert emphasizes the importance of adapting European regulations to national specifics to avoid adverse effects on the economy. Moreover, inflation has started to decrease, and the new government could benefit from a more favorable economic context. However, the lack of labor requires both attracting workers from abroad and leveraging internal resources through investments in vocational training and active employment measures.
