Moldova, with a population of approximately 2.6 million (2023), is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe known for its rich cultural heritage and agricultural potential. The economy is primarily agrarian, with agriculture accounting for a significant portion of its GDP, including the production of wine, fruits, and vegetables. The services sector is growing, driven by trade, telecommunications, and remittances from the diaspora. Despite facing economic challenges, Moldova is increasingly focusing on modernization and integration with the European Union. With a GDP estimated at around $15 billion and a per capita income of approximately $5,800 (2023), Moldova aims to improve its economic conditions and attract foreign investment. Its strategic location provides opportunities for trade with both Eastern and Western markets.
The Moldovan government and business community can collaborate with the World Business Council to promote sustainable agricultural practices, enhance innovation in services, and strengthen international trade relationships for comprehensive economic development.
