In this regard, Mariana Rufa, EBA CEO, has presented the overall picture by reiterating that EBA Moldova is developing twice per year DCFTA - Business Climate Briefing which reflects the issues collected from EBA members. The representatives of the private sector have reiterated the issues hampering the current business climate in Moldova, mainly related to defficient justice system and rule of law, non-functional waste management system, outgraded education system and the need to enhance public sector service through better quality and digitalisation.
