In late August 2026, the Public Property Agency (APP) issued an order removing former Prime Minister Dorin Recean from the Board of Directors of the state-owned enterprise MoldATSA. Recean had served on the board for approximately two months with the stated goal of restructuring the company and eliminating abuse, following public scrutiny regarding the company’s hiring and salary practices. While removed from MoldATSA, Recean retained his position on the board of the International Market Operator ‘Bursa Internațională a Moldovei’ S.A.

By mid-September 2026, the Moldovan government implemented broader leadership rotations across several state agencies. Prime Minister Vasile Tofan characterized these changes as a way to transfer experience between institutions. Key appointments included Ion Dodon, formerly of the National Health Insurance Company, as the new head of the Public Property Agency, and Elena Țîbîrnă, formerly of the National Social Insurance House, as the head of the State Tax Service, replacing Olga Golban. Țîbîrnă brings 25 years of experience managing budgets exceeding 50 billion lei.

Further appointments included Andrei Uncuță, a medical doctor and former secretary of state at the Ministry of Health, as the new director of the National Health Insurance Company (CNAM). Additionally, Radu Musteață, who previously served a two-day term as Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry, was appointed to lead the Agency for Intervention and Payments in Agriculture (AIPA). Musteață intends to modernize the agency to align with European Union standards and manage Common Agricultural Policy instruments.
