Moldova Business Week-2020 starts in Chisinau

Chisinau, 19 November /MOLDPRES/ - The local and international business community will explore new global tendencies and will discover Moldova’s investment potential at the seventh issue of the Moldova Business Week (MBW) forum, which started in Chisinau today. The event will be held on 19-20 November in digital format and is organized by the Investments Agency.    

Prime Minister Ion Chicu greeted the participants in the event. The PM said that Moldova had what to be proud of in terms of economic development. ‘’Moldova can be proud of more economic sectors; yet, each day the world is changing; other fields appear, which become priority. For instance, just as it happened with the digitalization and computerization in the conditions of pandemic. Or this is a new beginning and we should in the long run use all resources, both human and technological ones. We have also traditional branches, which must develop and we have opportunities for this. I mean the agriculture, industry, other sectors,’’ Ion Chicu said.     

According to the prime minister, taking into account that Moldova is connected to the international economic circuit, the country has more possibilities in this respect. ‘’We have quite good positions from the viewpoint of the macro-economic competitiveness; we have very good indicators, despite all rumours, we have a good financial and banking system; we do not have currency shocks; we have no problems with the state debt or the budgetary system – criteria which should be taken into account  by eventual investors. I think that, in general, we are now a good country for investments, both from the macroeconomic viewpoint and of many international treaties on free trade, we are party to,’’ the PM noted.

The edition of this year gives the participants the chance to explore strategies of global changes through the light of special guests, visionaries of international stature and business people. ‘’It is about Michio Kaku – American physicists and futurologist of Japanese origin, author of more bestseller books, well-known speaker and influencer, co-founder of the string theory and professor at the department of theoretical physics Henry Semat from the Graduate Center, City University from New York. As futurist, Kaku predicts tendencies which hit the business, finances and the lifestyle. Another participant is Binod Kumar Chaudhary – businessman, political figure and philanthropist from Nepal. He is president of the Chaudhary Group and of CG Corp Global, which comprises 160 companies and 123 brands. He was recognized as the richest person from Nepal and the only billionaire of this country, with a wealth estimated at 1.7 billion dollars in 2019.
