"Together with you, we have succeeded in making these reforms, so that today everyone can feel the benefits. On the one hand, you, the business people, on the other, people who need wages and higher pensions. There are results obtained by the team that is today governed by labor and sweat", said Pavel Filip.

In order to maintain the positive dynamics, the head of the Executive urged businessmen to continue to actively interact with the state authorities, expressing the conviction that the new year will bring new successes for entrepreneurs, the national economy and every citizen.

"We have all the certainty that during this period we have succeeded in laying the ground and starting to build in the Republic of Moldova. Let us ensure this continuity also in 2019, because this construction will rise at a higher speed, simply because the foundation was put", concluded Pavel Filip.

At the same time, Vlad Plahotniuc, the President of the Moldovan Businessmen Association, said that the current government is the only one that has managed to make the most of the promises made to businessmen, and 2018 was the best in the last 10 years concerns the economic field.

"We want your business to thrive in 2019, and in 2020, and in many, many years after that, because better for business, it means better for the country. Better for the country means better for people , and that is the goal that unites us. If the turnover and the profits increase, the budget revenues will increase, the wages will increase and the number of jobs will increase", said Vlad Plahotniuc.
