Round Table “Macroeconomic Resilience of the Republic of Moldova in the Context of Regional and Global Security Threats”

Tuesday 28 January, 2025
Start: Tuesday 28 January, 2025 -

Today, the round table on the topic “Macroeconomic Resilience of the Republic of Moldova in the Context of Regional and Global Security Threats” 🌍 took place, organized by the Independent Analytical Center “Expert-Grup” in partnership with the Center for Social and Economic Research (CASE, Poland) 🤝.

The event focused on presenting the main conclusions of the Country Report titled “Evaluation of Trends and Macroeconomic Perspectives of the Republic of Moldova in the Context of Global Economic and Political Challenges” 📊, which provided a detailed analysis of the evolution of the Moldovan economy in an increasingly complex global context 🌐.

Among the key conclusions of the report, the identification of the decrease in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as a percentage of GDP 📉 stands out as one of the country’s major economic vulnerabilities. Since 2009, the share of FDI in GDP has gradually decreased, from 47.1% to 33.5% in 2023, a phenomenon attributed to security risks, uncertainty, and an increasingly complicated business environment ⚠️. However, a positive trend is noted regarding FDI inflows, which have continued to grow significantly in recent years, even in the face of various crises and economic constraints 📈. Thus, the total stock of FDI in absolute value at the end of 2023 was 2.2 times higher than at the end of 2009.
