The Economic Council to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova is a platform for debate through which the problems faced by the business community are brought to the attention of the Government. Members of the platform debate systemic issues that they face and for which no consensus has been found in other formats. Both those who have raised the issue and representatives of the state institutions responsible for implementing the solutions participate in identifying solutions.

The Economic Council was created in 2011 as an advisory body to the Executive. Since June 2016, the platform has also exercised the functions of the National Committee for Trade Facilitation, and since August 2019 of the Advisory Council of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises.

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, and the International Finance Corporation’s Investment Climate Reform Project funded by the Government of Sweden’s International Development Agency.
