The Government of the Republic of Moldova is building
on the efforts to create better conditions for business
development by setting out as objectives 1) Improvement
of the country’s road infrastructure, including road
reparations/constructions; 2) Implementation of the
DCFTA; signing the Free trade agreement (FTA) with
China and FTA with EFTA (Norway, Switzerland,

5) Conducting regulatory reforms; 6) Improving

operationalization; Universal postal services.
Moldovan Government is also advancing in creating
attractive business conditions, being achieved thanks to the
implementation of reforms in entrepreneurship activity.
Among the most important is the Regulatory Reform
2016-2017, which aims to optimize permissive acts and
to implement the One Stop Shop solutions.
Revision and optimization of permissive acts will
contribute to the "Business: With Clear Rules"
objective of the Moldova 2020 National Development
Strategy. Another priority is the launch of the One Stop
Shop for the management and release of permissive
acts, assuming the full functionality of the information
system and the issuing of at least 30% of the total
number of permissive documents in 2018 based on the
one-stop shop.
Another important reform is the Reform of the state
control of the entrepreneurial activity, which provides:
Optimization of the number of institutions with
control functions to 13 control bodies (under
Government), and 5 independent regulators.
Procedural reform involving minimum documents,
maximum transparency and rights for entrepreneurs.
The digitization of the control processes, which
provides for the establishment of the State Register
of Single Controls, transparency and predictability of
the inspector's actions. Another important component
of the reform of entrepreneurial activity is the
simplification of the financial and statistical reporting
process by developing and launching a unique reporting
platform at the State Tax Inspectorate, the National
Social Insurance House, the National Insurance
Company in Medicine and the National Bureau of
Statistics. It is also about setting up a Single Report.
