Development Finance Assessment: Republic of Moldova
Development Finance Assessment: Republic of Moldova
February 19, 2023
This report presents a comprehensive assessment of the Republic of Moldova’s development finance landscape, examining how public and private financial flows can be better mobilised, managed, and aligned to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Development Finance Assessment (DFA) was prepared with support from UNDP, at the request of the Government of Moldova, as part of broader efforts to strengthen financing frameworks for sustainable development.
The assessment maps the main sources of development finance, including domestic public resources, government borrowing, official development assistance, other official flows, private sector finance, foreign direct investment, public-private partnerships, remittances, and non-governmental actors. It analyses trends, composition, and institutional arrangements, highlighting constraints and opportunities in the current financing mix.
The DFA is grounded in the Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) approach and is intended to support evidence-based policy dialogue on financing for development. It situates Moldova’s financing landscape within ongoing public financial management reforms, evolving access to concessional finance, and the country’s broader development and reform agenda.
By providing analytical insights and practical recommendations, the report supports national institutions and development partners in strengthening coordination, improving the alignment of financial flows with national priorities and SDGs, and informing future reforms aimed at mobilising sustainable and diversified sources of finance.
