Project impact:

The project has informed the regional authorities about key economic challenges, risks and opportunities affecting the economic development of Gagauzia. It assessed the socio-economic evolution of the region, its endowment with human, capital and natural resources, quality of infrastructure, state of the agricultural sector, food and non-food manufacture, trade and services, and business climate. The Analytic Study suggests that in order to embark upon a successful economic development path, the regional authorities have to concentrate on stimulating competitiveness of the region as a whole, rather than stressing attention on particular industries. Regional authorities are advised to concentrate efforts to eliminate the horizontal aspects, which have a negative influence on regional economy (bad roads, bureaucracy, and low skilled labor, lack of improvements in quality certification and poor implementation of European technical standards). The findings of the study were included in the Regional Development Strategy designed by the Gagauzian authorities.
