“…On the other hand, the scale of impact of the association agreements and the DCFTAs on movement of goods, capital and people has been very small to date. In contrast to early expectations (see Muravska and Berlin, 2016) the value of exports from Ukraine and Moldova has increased rather incrementally.

The article seeks to assess policy options of the Eastern Partnership Policy in stimulating long-term change in the partner countries. It argues that the policy has limited power to directly promote consolidation of democratic and market economy institutions or implementation of sectoral reforms. This is due to the embeddedness and mutual reinforcement of existing institutions in the partner countries. Instead, the Eastern Partnership Policy can create new dynamics of change by altering the outcomes of day-to-day interactions of a large number of individuals and organisations. In this regard, removal of barriers to travel, trade and participation in the EU programmes is an overdue (albeit too small) step in the right direction.

Entrepreneurial performance of these countries at the moment could be considered in its incipient stage especially considering regions.…”

The Republic of Moldova is the country with the lowest level of gross domestic product and living standards among the European countries, a situation which, although improved in dynamics, has not comparatively meliorated in the regional context. On the contrary, the development discrepancies that the country registers have become even more acute, the nation is still behind in terms of economic development even considering the regional context of the Eastern Europe. The main goal of the present study is to comprehensively assess and carry out a thorough analysis of the quality and competitiveness of the entrepreneurial and business environment of the Republic of Moldova, considering the regional context. Particular objectives of the study include: the analysis of the extent to which the entrepreneurial environment in the Republic of Moldova facilitates economic activity and individual initiative. Also, it is sought to perform a comparative analysis of the entrepreneurial competitiveness of the Republic of Moldova as compared to the rest of the Eastern European countries, including members and non-members of the European Union. At the same time, it is aimed to analyse the weakest positions of the entrepreneurial competitiveness of the Republic of Moldova that undermine the economic growth potential.
