Moldova faces significant economic challenges, including a high level of informal employment, low productivity, and a lack of diversification. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine further exacerbated these issues, leading to a contraction in economic activity. The water utilities from Moldova are in a difficult position from financial and operational point of view. The current tariff methodology and existing legislative framework governing the water sector in Moldova are insufficient to ensure its sustainability. The pricing structure fails to adequately cover operational and maintenance costs, limiting the sector's ability to invest in infrastructure upgrades and adopt modern technologies. Additionally, the legislative environment does not provide the necessary support for effective resource management, stakeholder collaboration, or long-term financial stability. Without significant reforms in both tariff policies and regulatory measures, the water sector will remain vulnerable to inefficiencies, financial deficits, and declining service quality, undermining its capacity to meet the growing needs of the population and ensure sustainable water management.
