Constructive dialogue with businesses in Gagauzia in light of Moldova's accession to the EU – an essential step for the country's economic and sustainable development

Today, together with Ms. Doina Nistor, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization, Mr. Viorel Garaz, Secretary of State MDED, Mr. Vadim Codreanu, Director ODA, Mr. Vasile Plămădeală, EU Delegation Trade Officer, and Ms. Carolina Bugaian, President EBA, we were in Gagauzia for an open dialogue with local entrepreneurs.
Ms. Doina Nistor and her team also had a dedicated discussion with women entrepreneurs from Gagauzia to identify the problems they face and share the opportunities that currently exist for business development in the region.

The event was organized by EBA Moldova and the Association of Businessmen of Gagauzia NEXT – Kara Vladimir and Anna Statova – with the aim of presenting the ongoing economic reforms, the opportunities offered by ODA programs, and details about the state aid scheme.

Direct dialogue with the authorities and the regional business community is key to:
• Increasing transparency in the implementation of reforms
• Identifying real challenges in the territory
• Finding solutions and capitalizing on new opportunities for investment, production, and export.

EBA has been supporting the development of the business community in the region for many years, including through collaboration with NEXT. Together with the support of the European Union in Moldova, we are actively contributing to accelerating the country's sustainable development.
