Summary/Abstract: The ‘liberalisation’ initiatives launched recently by the topleadership of the country (i.e. capital amnisty, fiscal amnesty and zero-rate for income tax of the legal persons) found the Moldovan society largely unprepared. The explanation which is provided by the national authorities to justify the reason for initiating a set of such radical proposals is quite vague yet and suggests an unfortunate lack of clarity on the expected impact as well as collateral effects which may follow the initiatives. Even the most obvious matters, stated by governmental officials on public broadcasted programs or in front of the legislative assembly, resemble more a series of exprompt moves, made in the absence of credible and systematic evaluations, which is sad because the initiatives may have huge consequences for the future of this country and implicate significant losses to the state budget and national economy overall. This Policy Brief attempts to assess and forecast some of its direct implications and proposals.
