Background
In October 2024, the European Commission proposed a Growth Plan for the Republic of Moldova, worth €1.9 billion and underpinned by a Reform and Growth Facility for 2025-2027. It is the largest EU financial support package for the country. To this day, Moldova has received EUR 504 million under the Growth Plan.
To help deliver the Growth Plan’s priorities, a Call for Expressions of Interest was launched for private sector investments. The Call was open to companies, joint ventures and consortia established in the European Union, the European Economic Area or Moldova. Projects had to be located in Moldova, with a minimum investment of €10 million and at least 15% equity or own-resources contribution from promoters. The submission window ran from 4 September 2025 to 4 June 2026.
