The Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization has launched a new support mechanism to stimulate domestic industrial investments between 2025 and 2036.
The total budget allocated for this initiative is two billion Moldovan lei. Minister Dumitru Alaiba announced the launch on Friday, December 20.
Under this mechanism, both large and small domestic companies investing in business expansion and development will be eligible for state reimbursement of up to 60% of their investment.
The targeted industries include electronics, machinery and automotive components, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, textiles and clothing, and food processing.
Twenty-five percent of the aid will be provided immediately as non-refundable grants, while the remaining 75% will be allocated as 50% income tax exemptions.
To be eligible for this support, investments must meet the following criteria:
- The investment must be new.
- The investment value must be at least 10 million Moldovan lei.
- The investment must be made specifically in one of the targeted manufacturing sectors.
The authorities anticipate that these measures will attract investments exceeding half a billion euros, leading to the creation of stable, well-paying jobs, modernization of factories and technologies, reduced labor migration, and increased wages for industry workers.
