The Ministry of Finance and UNDP Moldova organized a technical discussion aimed at advancing the 2026 agenda on Fiscal Impact Assessment, within the framework of the project Public Finance for Development in Moldova and the Country Engagement Plan Tax Policy for the SDGs in Moldova, implemented with the support of the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic.

The discussions focused on providing structured analytical support to the Ministry of Finance in assessing the feasibility and budgetary implications of key fiscal policy initiatives, including the convergence of excise duties to EU levels, adjustments to tax regimes, and fiscal reforms aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Building on the progress achieved under the Tax Policy for the SDGs component, the activity emphasized strengthening institutional capacities in tax simulation modelling, budget impact analysis, and evidence-based policymaking. These efforts aim to enhance domestic resource mobilization, improve fiscal sustainability, and ensure that fiscal policies effectively contribute to financing the SDGs and to the Republic of Moldova’s commitments under the European Union accession process.

Through continued collaboration, the Ministry of Finance and UNDP reaffirm their commitment to modern, transparent, and SDG-aligned fiscal reforms.
