Anca Dragu: Romanian investments in the Republic of Moldova remain at a low level
Anca Dragu, Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, recently stated that European Commission officials are concerned about the low number of investments coming from Romania to the Republic of Moldova. This issue has become an important topic of discussion within the dialogue between the two states and their European partners.
Although Romania is one of the Republic of Moldova's main trading partners, the presence of Romanian capital in the neighboring economy has not reached its expected potential. Anca Dragu acknowledged that it is difficult to provide clear explanations for this situation, highlighting the lack of concrete answers to the questions coming from Brussels.
Economic experts suggest that this investor reluctance could be caused by economic uncertainties in the region or complex bureaucracy. However, strengthening economic relations is essential for the Republic of Moldova's European path and for the development of shared infrastructure.
In conclusion, the investment situation remains a challenge for the authorities in Bucharest and Chișinău. It is expected that new solutions will be identified in the coming period to encourage Romanian companies to expand their activities across the Prut and contribute more actively to the Moldovan economy.
