European Commission: Support for Moldova is not tied to the IMF program, but reforms remain essential
The European Commission maintains close cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and supports ongoing dialogue between the IMF and the Republic of Moldova. This is especially relevant as the IMF recently postponed a significant tranche of support for Chisinau. Markus Lammer, the spokesperson for the European Executive, explained that European support mechanisms for Moldova operate independently of IMF programs. However, he emphasized that reforms and improvements in macroeconomic policies remain essential for the country's progress.
