The promises in the economic sector made in the campaign before the 2010 parliamentary elections were generally fulfilled in an unsatisfactory way. Only the promise to negotiate and sign the Association Agreement with the European Union can be considered as delivered at an excellent level, economic expert Adrian Lupusor said in a news conference at IPN.

The analysis of the promises is made within a project of the Association for Participatory Democracy (ADEPT) and is fully available on the website promis.md.

In the campaign for the 2010 legislative elections, the political parties that came to power after the elections made 20 promises in the economic sphere. The Liberal Party made 18 promises, the Democratic Parry two promises, while the Liberal Democratic Party made no measurable promise in this sector.

Adrian Lupusor also said that the absolute poverty rate in 2010–2013 fell from 21.9% to 12.7%, while the extreme poverty rate – from 1.4% to 0.3%. The macroeconomic situation in the country remained at a relatively stable level. The GDP growth was 5.5% on average. The conditions for starting businesses improved. According to the Doing Business report, Moldova climbed from the 93rd spot in 2013 to the 81st spot in 2014 owing to the reduction in the number of procedures needed for starting a business.

Among the accomplishments is also the fact that 313 grants to the value of 57.6 million lei were provided through the PARE 1+1 Program in 2011–2013. The export markets were diversified. The financial autonomy of the local public authorities increased even if the reform is overdue, being implemented in only several pilot-districts. The number of people out of work decreased from 92,000 to 63,100.

ADEPT executive director Igor Botan said the politicians should review the promises made earlier before promising something else for 2014-2018. He noted that on promis.md they will also analyze the promises made by the politicians in the current election campaign.
