Summary: | This set of policy notes is intended to
provide suggestions to the new Government on policy actions
for addressing the various economic and social challenges
that Moldova faces. Economic and social policy issues are
the focus of this document. The notes have been prepared in
the context of the current economic crisis, with short-term
priorities and suggestions for immediate policy actions
highlighted. This guidance for responding to the current
crisis is followed by a medium-term agenda, which outlines
possible policy measures for the longer term to promote and
support sustainable development. However, it must be noted,
that acting on these policy notes effectively will only be
possible in a political climate of consensus in which the
wounds left by the post-election conflict are allowed to
heal. This will need reaffirmation of Moldova's
citizens' basic human and civil rights. However, the
global economic crisis has significantly clouded
Moldova's immediate outlook. In addition, due to the
global economic crisis, the economy of the Transnistria
region has collapsed. Russia is now paying the civil service
wage bill and pensions. An important contribution to the
reintegration of the region would be for the Government of
Moldova to assist in mitigating the impact of the crisis on
the poor in Transnistria. |
