The Competition Council has drafted the ninth Report on State Aid granted in the Republic of Moldova (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”) since the entry into force of Law No. 139/2012 on State Aid. The Report was prepared based on the information provided by state aid and de minimis aid grantors (central public authorities, local public authorities, etc.) through the automated information system of the State Aid Register.

The Report includes an analysis of both the existing aid that continued to be granted during the reporting year and new aid, de minimis aid, support measures granted for the provision of services of general economic interest (SGEI), and aid offered in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Report serves as a statistical tool to ensure transparency in the area of state aid, providing relevant information for central and local public authorities related to policy development in various sectors of the national economy and decision-making regarding the efficient allocation of available public resources. Additionally, it can serve as an informational base for various scientific research.

The Report has been drafted, approved, and submitted to the Parliament and Government of the Republic of Moldova.
