Thursday, 27 April 2023
Economia Republicii Moldova își va reveni în 2023 și va recupera scăderea înregistrată anul trecut, generată de multiplele crize cu care s-a confruntat. Perspectivele economice pentru următorii ani sunt marcate de oportunități istorice, dar și de riscuri. Scenariul de bază al actualului orizont de Prognoză se bazează pe o redresare economică în 2023 de 4,7 % și pe o creștere economică în anii următori (5,4 % în 2024 și un coridor de creștere de 4-5 % în 2025-2027). Pentru următorii ani, principalele ipoteze avute în vedere pentru creșterea economică sunt stabilizarea situației de securitate din regiune, îmbunătățirea conectivității energetice și de mobilitate cu România și începerea negocierilor de aderare la UE. Concluziile și prognozele date se regăsesc în cea de-a #24 ediție a publicației MEGA -Moldova Economic Growth Analysis*, cu titlul „Relansarea economică din 2023: prognoze, riscuri și priorități de politici” elaborată de Centrul Analitic Independent „Expert-Grup” și lansată în 27 aprilie 2023, în cadrul conferinței de presă MEGA #24 „Economia Moldovei între ecoul războiului și reziliență: prognoze pentru 2023-2024”.
