Guest post: Moldova’s European ambitions | beyondbrics:

"
By Iurie Leanca, Prime Minister of Moldova

Moldova has had a troubled path since gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Dogged by corruption and uncompetitive Soviet-era industry and management, at least 1m of our citizens have left the country in search of a better life.

But spurred on by our desire for closer integration with the EU, Moldova is beginning to emerge from decades of missed opportunities and relative decline.

Reflecting this, our GDP has grown by an average of 3 per cent each year since 2009 and in that same period we have reduced our budget deficit from -6.4 to -1.3 per cent of GDP in 2012."
