The updated document contains 27 topics. Among the priorities of the Digital Economy Roadmap for 2023 is the development of e-commerce through the development of the necessary infrastructure. Another priority is facilitating online payments in Moldova, access to digital payment services and the development of courier services.

This was discussed at the meeting of the Advisory Council for the Digitisation of the Economy – iConsiliu, within the Economic Council to the Prime Minister of Moldova.

According to experts of the Secretariat of the Economic Council, the new Roadmap also provides for actions to identify regulations in national legislation that discourage the development of the digital economy. At the same time, it aims to implement essential digital public services for business and diaspora.

Another part of the Roadmap is related, among other things, to the optimisation of tax and customs procedures for the digitisation of business and e-commerce, the facilitation of cashless payments and the promotion of e-invoicing and e-vouchers.

It should be noted that the updated Digital Economy Roadmap was drafted as early as 2020 and contains topics alerted by business associations, members of the Economic Council. Periodically that document is updated with new topics.

Of the 80 actions in the Digital Economy Roadmap, 41 have been completed by the end of 2022. 14 are partially completed and another 13 are in the process of completion. Thus 72.5% of the actions in this document are completed.

The Secretariat of the Economic Council to the Prime Minister is supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, funded by the UK Government’s Good Governance Fund.
