January 25 (SeeNews) - Moldova plans to invest over 12 billion lei ($634.9 million/584.1 million euro) in road rehabilitation projects in 2023, infrastructure minister Andrei Spinu said.
Moldova’s infrastructure and regional development ministry’s objectives for this year focus on renewable energy, road infrastructure, rural areas, transport and telecommunications, as well as new regulations in the construction sector, Spinu said in a social media post on Tuesday.
Among its main objectives for 2023, the infrastructure and regional development ministry plans to select investment projects in the area of renewable energy.
Moldova will also launch a new tender for projects under the European Village programme, an infrastructure development programme that has already benefitted from a 970 million lei budget in 2022, according to the programme’s website.
Modernising Moldova’s passenger transport through digitalisation and setting a regulatory framework in urban planning are also part of the infrastructure ministry’s action plan for 2023. Moldova also plans on reducing roaming costs with EU countries by expanding its roaming agreement with Romania to other countries.
