This briefing book from development partners is offered as a first step in such a dialogue and is solely intended to assist the new Government by providing development partners views and proposals that it can use to the extent it considers useful and relevant. These recommendations are based on Moldova s existing policy orientations as set out in the National Development Strategy Moldova 2020, its international obligations, and the Association Agreement (AA) with the European Union (EU). Moldova made a formal commitment to accelerate the country s development by making it capital-intensive, sustainable and knowledge-driven. With a strategic framework outlining Moldova s development path in place, it is now critical to accelerate implementation of the reforms including those set out in the Association Agenda to move closer to the EU. Moldova faces significant risks in the financial sector, which should be addressed as a matter of urgency. A well-regulated and reliable banking sector is fundamental to business, people and international investors. At the same time a robust system of public financial management should be in place to ensure transparency and accountability of public finances. Moldova should develop a competitive business environment attractive to new investment. Moldova should also take advantage of new trading opportunities through effective implementation of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO FINANCEACCESS TO FINANCIAL SERVICESACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGACCREDITATIONADMINISTRATIVE COSTSADVOCACYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAID EFFECTIVENESSANTI-CORRUPTIONANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAWANTICORRUPTIONASSETSATTITUDE TOWARDS WOMENBALANCE SHEETSBANK LOANSBANKING SUPERVISIONBANKSBASIC SERVICESBEST PRACTICESBORROWINGBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SERVICESBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESBUSINESS SUPPLYBUSINESS SUPPORTCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL MARKETCAPITAL MARKETSCASE LAWCHAMBERS OF COMMERCECHILD PROTECTIONCIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCIVIL STATUSCOLLATERALCOMPENSATIONCOMPLAINTSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFIDENCECONFIDENCE-BUILDINGCONFLICTS OF INTERESTSCONSTITUTIONAL COURTCORRUPTCORRUPT OFFICIALSCORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTION PREVENTIONCOURTCOURTSCREDITORSCREDITSCRIMECRIMESCRIMINALCRIMINAL LIABILITYCRIMINALSCUSTOMER SATISFACTIONDATA STORAGEDEPOSITDEPOSITORDEPOSITSDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDISABILITIESDISCRETIONDISCRIMINATIONDISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMENDISCRIMINATORY PRACTICESDISPOSABLE INCOMEDOMESTIC VIOLENCEDONOR FUNDSE-GOVERNMENTECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION SYSTEMELECTRONIC PAYMENTELIGIBILITY CRITERIAEMPLOYERSEMPOWERMENTEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTENTERPRISE GROWTHENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENTEQUAL ACCESSEQUAL OPPORTUNITIESEQUALITY FOR WOMENETHNIC MINORITIESEUEU DIRECTIVESEXCLUSIONEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESFAMILIESFAMILY RESPONSIBILITIESFAMILY VIOLENCEFARMERSFEMALEFIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITYFINANCIAL SYSTEMFISCAL DISCIPLINEGENDERGENDER EQUALITYGENDER GAPSGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER ISSUESGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGOOD FAITHGOVERNMENT POLICIESGUARANTEED ACCESSHOMEHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RIGHTHUMAN RIGHTSIDSIMMEDIATE ACCESSIMPLEMENTATION OF LAWSINCOME TAXINEQUALITIESINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCEINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TREATIESINVESTIGATIONINVESTIGATIONSJUDGESJUDICIAL PROCEDURESJUDICIAL SYSTEMJUDICIARYJUSTICEKEY CHALLENGELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLAW ENFORCEMENTLAWSLEADERSHIPLEGAL AIDLEGAL ENTITYLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL SERVICESLEGISLATIONLINE OF CREDITLITERACYMEDIAMICROFINANCEMIGRANT WOMENMINISTERMINISTERSMONEY LAUNDERINGMONEY TRANSFERMORTGAGENATIONAL BANKNATIONAL INTEGRITYNEW MARKETSOFFICE HOLDERSONLINE SYSTEMPARENTAL CAREPARLIAMENTPAYMENT SERVICESPENSIONPENSIONSPERCEPTION OF CORRUPTIONPETTY CORRUPTIONPOLICEPOLICE OFFICERPRIME MINISTERPRIVATIZATIONPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT LAWPROPERTY RIGHTSPROSECUTIONPROSECUTORPROSECUTORSPUBLIC AUTHORITIESPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SERVICERAPEREAL ESTATEREMEDYREMITTANCESREPRESENTATIVESRESIDENCERISK MANAGEMENTSAFETY NETSSANCTIONSSAVINGSSECOND MORTGAGESECURITIESSENIOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALSSERVICE DELIVERYSEXSEXUAL VIOLENCESOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYSTATE SUPPORTSUPPLY CHAINSTAX CODETECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRADE UNIONTRADE UNIONSTRAINING CENTERTRAINING CENTRETRANSPARENCYTRIALUNEMPLOYMENTUNEQUAL ACCESSUNIONURBAN AREASVICTIMSVIOLENCEVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENVULNERABLE PERSONSWILLWOMEN ENTREPRENEURSWOMEN IN BUSINESSWOMEN'S LAWReportWorld Bank10.1596/21798
