FIA contributes to the dialogue on biodiversity financing in the Republic of Moldova!
🌍Today, the Executive Director of the Foreign Investors Association (FIA), together with representatives of FIA member companies, participated in the validation process of the Biodiversity Expenditure Review (BER), developed within the framework of the BIOFIN Moldova / UNDP initiative.
📊 The document represents the first comprehensive assessment of financial resources allocated to biodiversity in the Republic of Moldova and includes an analysis of the private sector’s contribution.
According to the assessment, in 2025, the private sector contributed approximately MDL 186 million, representing nearly 19% of total biodiversity-related expenditures.
🌿 For FIA, the green transition and biodiversity protection must be built in partnership with the business community. Environmental policies and financing mechanisms should be clear, predictable, and supportive, enabling environmental objectives to generate new opportunities for investment, innovation, and sustainable growth.
💬 During the discussions, FIA representatives emphasized the importance of involving the private sector at an early stage in the development of future biodiversity financing instruments and mechanisms.
🤝 FIA will continue to contribute to the dialogue between public authorities, development partners, and the investment community, promoting solutions that balance environmental objectives, business competitiveness, and the investment attractiveness of the Republic of Moldova.
