The Romanian Ministry of Finance will open a guarantee line of almost €250 million for the large European companies present in Romania and for Romanian businesses that will want to invest in Moldova and to create jobs. The announcement was made by Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta in a meeting with his Moldovan counteract Iurie Leanca in Sculeni on April 29, IPN reports.
Victor Ponta said that many representatives of European firms inquire about Moldova’s European prospects because they want to invest here, but want their investments to be safe. Each of the steps taken by Moldova towards the EU is a door opened for European investments.
Victor Ponta said there is a legal framework enabling the county councils of Romania to establish partnerships with the districts authorities of Moldova for attracting foreign investments to the villages and towns from the left bank of the Prut. “The sooner Moldova becomes more stable on its European path, the larger the EU investments in Moldova will be,” stated the Romanian Premier.
Iurie Leanca and Victor Ponta met in Sculeni village to celebrate the abolition of the EU visa requirements for Moldovans from April 28. They discussed with residents of Sculeni and then travelled to the Sculeni checkpoint and crossed the border without visas.
