TASK II. ESSAY. On real chances of economic prosperity for Moldova.(120words)

Economic reform in Moldova has over the last decade proceeded more hesitantly than in most
other transition countries. As a result, living standards have eroded while the economy developed
slowly or even contracted, with the level of investment being insufficient to sustain growth.
More recently the country has achieved a degree of political stability and economic prospects are
now improving.
Moldova, a traditional agrarian economy and with agricultural land making up three-quarters of
the total land area, depends heavily on agriculture which accounts for about a fifth of the
country’s GDP and employs a quarter of the country’s workforce. Favourable climate and soil
conditions enable the country to produce a wide range of crops, including fruit, vegetables, grain,
sugar beet, sunflower seeds, tobacco, as well as wine (many of which are recognised as among
the finest in the market), beef and milk. Today, manufacturing accounts for around 80% of total
industrial output.
In conclusion, reforms and policies of the past few years have yielded positive results as regards
macro-economic stabilisation, privatisation and economic restructuring, and have led to a modest
economic recovery, so agriculture is the only chance for Moldova to prosper.
