Moldova Tofan government confidence

Overview

Caretaker prime‑minister‑designate Vasile Tofan secured parliamentary confidence on 21 July 2026, retaining most of the previous cabinet and launching a reform agenda titled “The European Economy, an Effective State”. The programme targets a two‑percentage‑point deficit reduction by 2029, tax reform, privatisation of at least ten state‑owned firms, and accelerated EU accession – aiming to finish negotiations by the end of 2028 and achieve full membership by 2030. The cabinet was sworn in on 22 July with backing from President Maia Sandu, the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity, Romania and the EU delegation.

On the same day the government approved a law to digitise judicial procedures. Justice Minister Vladislav Cojuhari said the measure will enable electronic summons, online filing and video‑conference hearings, shortening cases and cutting administrative costs. Parallelly, the Competition Council and the Ministry of Economic Development drafted a new competition‑law framework that allows full compensation for victims of collusion or abuse of dominance, aligns with EU standards and introduces stricter penalties.

The new cabinet also announced a fiscal‑reform overhaul, new certification rules for health professionals and a monitoring dashboard for 29 large infrastructure projects totalling 23.5 billion lei. The first foreign visit is expected to be Romania, followed by Brussels, signalling continued diplomatic push for EU membership. Critics continue to demand detailed funding mechanisms and impact assessments, particularly for education and social‑assistance reforms.
