Republic of Moldova is а country in Eastern Europe and a former Soviet republic. This is a parliamentary republic with a president as the head of state. Local currency is the Moldovan leu. The official language is Romanian (Moldovan). The Administrative-Territorial Units of the Left Bank of the Dniester has been under the de facto control of the unrecognised Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic since 1990.
Moldova has been facing serious economic challenges since the collapse of the Soviet Union. According to International Monetary Fund, Moldova ranks 132 by GDP per capita in the world, which is the lowest rank in Europe. Most industrial enterprises are either idle, or only partially used. Agriculture is the core of the Moldovan economy.
Moldova is not an offshore centre or a tax haven. The country is characterised by a (pro forma) rather high level of transparency of registration procedures and corporate information.
Business activities in Moldova are regulated by, inter alia, the 1992 Law on Entrepreneurship and Enterprises, The 1997 Law on Joint-Stock Companies, the 2007 Law on Limited Liability Companies, and the 2002 Civil Code.
