Author Description

Product Description Moldova is a small country with a four million population. It is dependent on Russia and its economy is still largely focused on agruculture. However, it has strong food, wine and textile exports and a growing demand for consumer goods. The government is now committed to an action plan negotiated with the EU to reform the judicial and business environment and to combat corruption. Moldova, a largely underdevelopped pre-emerging market, is of increasing interest to foreign investors. This unique guide gives a market overview and looks at the country's legal, regulatory and financial environment.
