Moldova for investors

Stand:

2021-04-10

This is a seria of explanations to some important laws for investors in Moldova. The authors are members of the MDW, Moldova´s Germanspeaking Business Association. We hope this will help to get more investments to Moldova. Btw, the membership in our association does not require German language skills (though we see our special task in assistance in relations between Moldova and German speaking business people). Thus if you like our work for Moldova and want to further it: Contact us!

Basics

This article shall avoid longer periods without a working parliament.

Some things, like the exact time (3 months = 90 days?), under what conditions parliament can declare the state of emergency and whether the president can or must dissolve parliament, are not so clear.

This led already to some troubles and in 2019 even to a situation close to a civil war!

However, it seems that the political parties and the presidents, etc. spend perhaps too much time in fighting about a possible dissolution of the parliament.

At the end of the day: If you do not have a stable majority in parliament you do not have a stable government.

Hopefully the Constitutional Court will bring more light to these questions with some wise and well reasoned decisions soon!
