Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

On 3 December, the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, in partnership with the Public Property Agency and with the support of the Soros Foundation Moldova, held the closing event of a technical assistance project on adopting international best practices in the corporate governance of state-owned companies.

The event brought together experts, government and state company representatives, civil society and donors. Key results include the Public Property Agency’s new website, the State Property Management Strategy and Programme for 2024-2027, digitalisation of public property data, a functional analysis of the Agency, and the sorting of state companies into five categories. A corporate governance programme was implemented for seven energy companies, and mandates were drawn up for seven state companies.

Roman Cojuhari, Daniela Vidaicu and Adrian Lupușor stressed transparency, digitalisation and public trust. Mr Lupușor said reforms must continue and accelerate amid European integration, focusing on the Strategy’s implementation, the automated information system, restructuring the Agency, depoliticisation, and possibly first corporate bond issues by state companies.
