INVESTMENTS IN MOLDOVA

Foreign direct investment in Moldova fluctuates at low levels, mainly due to the limited domestic market and the unstable administrative and legal environment. However, under the new law on tax reforms, from 1.1.2008, a zero tax rate on undistributed profits of companies exists.
Corporate tax rate is at 12%, still even at this level being one of the most competitive in the Balkans.
It is worth noticing that because of the issue of Transnistria in particular, the country has a significant energy deficit, while the relatively weak local currency keeps bank interests at high levels.
