Moldovan government will prioritise Western assistance
Thursday, August 12, 2021
Significance
The government is headed by Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita, a leading PAS figure and former finance minister. This completes the creation of a strong functioning governance system under President Maia Sandu and her PAS allies.
Impacts
- The budget deficit will encourage the government to accept conditions set by the IMF and EU.
- Unprecedented political synergies should foster swift, more cohesive reforms.
- A comprehensive campaign against corruption will be disruptive for the public sector.
- Finding competent, uncorrupt people to take senior positions and staff institutions will be a challenge.
