The National Development Strategy "Moldova 2020" presents a Vision of cohesive long-term sustainable economic development based on a diagnostic study of constraints to economic development. In this sense, it will consolidate and will guide the sectoral approach characteristic for the governance programme, the objectives of which are outlined for the entire mandate period. The Strategy is based on 7 development priorities: 1) Aligning the education system to labour market needs in order to enhance labour productivity and increase employment in the economy; 2) Increasing public investment in the national and local road infrastructure; 3) Reducing financing costs by increasing competition in the financial sector and developing risk management tools; 4) Improving the business climate; 5) Reducing energy consumption by increasing energy efficiency and using renewable energy sources; 6) Ensuring financial sustainability of the pension system; 7) Increasing the quality and efficiency of justice and fighting corruption in order to ensure an equitable access to public goods for all citizens. The Chapter on “Energy delivered safely, used efficiently” argues that energy efficiency and security have a direct impact on economic development and poverty reduction. Energy infrastructure is in a state of advanced usage, and prices of energy resources, which are 95% imported, are increasing. Power generation capacities are insufficient on the right bank of Nistru. Similarly, there are insufficient physical network interconnections with neighbouring countries in the sectors of natural gas and electricity. Losses in the electricity and heating sectors are high, as well as the debt to the natural gas supplier accumulated in the heating sector. Energy consumption is inefficient and the use of renewable energy resources is limited. Therefore, the Government aims to create by 2020 a competitive and efficient energy sector that will provide consumers with quality energy resources, on affordable and reliable terms, will respond to the challenges of energy price increases, dependency on imports of energy resources, and energy sector impact on climate change. This strategic vision for the development of the energy sector is based on the following pillars: i) ensuring the country’s energy security, and ii) increasing energy efficiency. The expected impact is that the development of the energy sector in line with the strategic vision will contribute to materializing the concept of sustainable development of national economy. Envisaged actions will boost the implementation of a new economic paradigm based on „investment-exports” relying on the country’s industrial development process, will result in a reduced poverty level as a consequence of increasing population access to energy resources, as well as a reduction of dependency on imports of energy resources. As far as the agricultural sector is concerned, it is argued under the Chapter dealing with “Business: Clear Rules of the Game” that infrastructure will be improved in local companies, including agricultural enterprises. The present Strategy will be implemented through an update of the existing Consolidated Action Plan (CAP), which includes in itself actions from the Government’s Activity Programme and other national and strategic planning documents. The implementation of many actions in the Strategy will be impossible without amending the structure and level of funding. The Medium Term Budgetary Framework (MTBF) will be the framework through which Strategy actions requiring financing will be prioritized and financed. In order to know the Strategy implementation progress and to determine the necessity to adjust some established actions, the State Chancellery will conduct a mid-term evaluation of Strategy implementation.
