AmCham METRIX (Moldovan Economic Transformation and Reform IndeX) to be launched in Moldova on April 2
According to AmCham Moldova, it is an indicator that will quantitatively and qualitatively represent the interaction between the business environment and public authorities through the prism of investment attractiveness of Moldova, in order to improve the dialog between the private sector and public authorities and contribute to the creation of a transparent, predictable and efficient business environment. METRIX will be based on 3 main components: business environment perception assessment, policy impact analysis, and forecasting of future policies. Business Environment Perception Assessment - a national CATI survey targeting 350 companies to analyze how they interact with government in key areas. Policy Impact Analysis - using an econometric model (VAR) to assess the impact of fiscal, trade/customs and labor policies on the business environment compared to similar countries, e.g. Albania, Montenegro, and Czech Republic. Forecasting future policies - forecasting economic development based on EU accession commitments and business climate trends through stakeholder consultations. It is planned that the key outcomes of the launch of AmCham METRIX will be: objective assessment of the business climate through a structured and quantitative framework; calculation-driven policy decision-making, increasing public sector accountability and aligning rules with the needs of companies; transparency and predictability for both the government and the business environment; regional scalability and replicability where the model can be applied to other policy areas or neighboring countries. //25.03.2025 - InfoMarket.
