The Republic of Moldova and Trade Liberalisation: How Much Will the Agro-Industrial Sector Suffer?
Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
A study examines the potential impact of the future Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) between the EU and the Republic of Moldova on Moldova's agro-industrial sector. It is published ahead of the forthcoming negotiations, as Moldovan policymakers ask how to avoid the negative effects of trade liberalisation and protect sensitive sectors.
The study assesses the potential effects of the future DCFTA on the Moldovan agro-industrial sector. The impact is evaluated using an Applied General Equilibrium Model, a quantitative approach designed to estimate how trade liberalisation could affect the economy.
The analysis begins with an assessment of the sector's current economic situation, which provides the baseline for the modelling. The aim is to help policymakers anticipate the consequences of liberalisation and consider how to protect economically sensitive branches.
