The decline through which the economy of Moldova passes, has occurred due to the lack of a consistent reforming policy and an efficient mechanism for its implementation. For the urgent recovery of the situation we propound a coherent, reforming program with a broad envisioning of the modern economy, incorporated in the national context. The program has as its core 4 key-moments that ensure the achievement of the principle -not the person for the state, but the state for the person.

I. Formation of a state of law with real division of powers in legislative, judicial and executive as a principle of efficient governing and guarantee of observance of the human rights. The reforming of the 3 branches of power presupposes the election of a professional, honest and competent Parliament, establishing of an independent and impartial justice, setting up of an efficient Public Administration by means of modernization of the administrative machinery, combating of the favoritism and the corruption of the civil servants, financial system transparency ensuring, an actual decentralization of Public Administration, offering the mayors the right of financial administration of local financial funds.

    • exclusion of neutrality as a principle of the state’s foreign policy, because it is to the prejudice of the state;
    • introduction into the Constitution of the right to inheritance.

  3. ensuring the right of a person to examining his cause in a fair way publicly and in a reasonable term by an independent and impartial court named by the law.
  4. being aware of the present lamentable state of the justice institutions and of those who serve there, we consider it necessary to bring to a high quality level the technico-material provisioning of these institutions, as well as the system of training and re-training of the juridical staff.

    • ensuring the permanent control by parliament over the observance of the legislation;

II. The State’s role in the ensuring of the economic growth

II (1) Forming of legislation adequate to the market economy and stimulation of the private property

Starting from the idea that a state is rich, first of all, via the welfare of its citizens, we strive for the protection and guarantee of the private property and free initiative, by sanctioning via a law and fulfillment of the following principle: the private property is the economic basis of the society and is sacred.

Creating of the legislation adequate to a modern market economy, the principle of equipoise between the public and private interest being respected, it requires the adoption of some efficient economic laws, implementing the legislative experience of the countries with an advanced market economy that will allow for the promotion of the national products export to the world market, integration of the Republic of Moldova in the economic and financial international structures.

With the view to attracting foreign investments, capital flux, advanced techniques and equipment, we seek to legislation that will strengthen the guarantees and widen the facilities offered to the investors.

II (2) Promoting macroeconomic stabilization policy

A tax and monetary policy oriented towards the macroeconomic stabilization, the stimulation of the investments in economy and integration of the

Republic of Moldova in the European and international economic community presupposes:

  1. ensuring of the economic, financial, banking, monetary, customs, budget, energy, etc integrity of the Republic of Moldova.
    In order to cease the petroleum products, tobacco items and alcohol beverages smuggling it is timely to introduce a new mechanism of collecting the insurance amounts equivalent with the amount of the excise for transiting the territory of the republic or for goods transporting to Transnistria, the amount that will be retrieved to the economic entities when taking the merchandise out from the republic.
  2. promoting a balanced and stimulating tax policy for producers and investors

    At present the public debt exceeds 11 milliard lei, representing 80% of the annual GDP (1999), but a quarter of the budget expenditures are directed towards the reimbursement and serving of the public debt. We see the improvement of this situation in reinforcing the financial discipline, rationalization of budget expenditures, holding control over the inflation, ensuring of the financial, budget transparence by means of national programs, orientation of the loans towards the promotion of innovations and development of the production sector.
  4. gradual diminishing of the foreign commercial deficit ($123 mln in 1999) and passing over to fair commercial balance via:
    • structural re-orientation towards the export of the food products by creating some small and medium-sized enterprises of local raw material processing (leather, wool, meat, tobacco, sugar, fruits, vegetables, etc.) in villages and county centers, etc.
    • encouraging of the geographical diversification of the import of energy resources and re-orientation of the export towards the Baltic, Scandinavian, western Europe, Near East, etc., countries;
    • judicious policy of import-export prices: exclusion of the imports at prices that exceed the world medium ones and ensuring of export prices to be comparable with the world ones for the same goods (first of all for agricultural products).
II (3) Balanced social policy

A balanced social policy under the circumstances of budget limitation and population masses pauperization imposes a rational public policy of budget expenditures oriented towards the vulnerable layers of the population, the State guaranteeing a factual minimum of existence and services.
