Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.

The 25th edition of the Euromonitor reviews developments in the third quarter of 2012 in implementing reforms driven by Moldova's European integration agenda. It assesses progress across the monitored economic, trade and social areas, highlighting advances in financial markets alongside persistent gaps in competition policy, trade negotiations and social dialogue.

Important progress was recorded in financial markets and institutions, through regulatory changes that increase the transparency of commercial banks and align financial reporting procedures with international standards. The main persistent problem is the lack of transparency of ownership rights in the financial system, both in banks and in non-bank institutions.

The publication of the laws on competition and state aid has not yet been followed by restructuring of the regulatory agency or by a stronger regulatory and methodological framework. Negotiations on the DCFTA with the EU and on the Free Trade Agreement with Turkey continued actively, but because the Transnistrian region is not an active party, it remains unclear how they will be effectively implemented across the whole country. In sustainable and social development, no progress was observed in creating the Economic and Social Council, as the authorities involved showed minimal interest.
