Current Challenges in Crowdfunding

While crowdfunding tools are up and running, there are still some hurdles to overcome:

• Moldova’s capital market remains small, both in terms of investment volume and the number of active participants.


• Legislative restrictions limit access for non-resident investors, particularly the Moldovan diaspora—a valuable financial resource for our national economy.


• The rigidity of the regulatory framework slows down the flow of foreign investments and creates extra barriers to Moldova’s integration into global financial networks.

By contrast, platforms in the European Union are already successfully enabling cross-border investments, attracting capital from both individuals and businesses, regardless of citizenship.

Why Act Now?

The current context, with Moldova negotiating its path toward EU membership, opens up major opportunities to update and modernize our legislation.

Streamlining the regulatory framework would allow:

• Non-resident investors to tap into crowdfunding opportunities;


• Simplified electronic procedures for establishing remote business relationships;


• An increase in investment volumes, including foreign currency, while adhering to international standards of transparency and security.

Now is the time for Moldova to create an environment that welcomes investments through digital platforms, following the European model.
