Moldova opposition proposes gas tariff cut using Energocom profits

Opposition MP Constantin Cuiumju of Our Party proposed lowering domestic gas tariffs by utilizing the net profits of state energy supplier Energocom, which recorded roughly 793 million lei in 2024 earnings. Cuiumju argued that regulatory authorities should prioritize public interest over corporate reserves after Energocom retained most of its surplus post-tax dividend payout.

Separately, demographic data from the Diaspora Sentiment 2026 survey identified Moldova as a key source of young human capital for Romania, noting that 49 percent of Moldovan diaspora respondents belong to Generation Z.

Meanwhile, municipal officials reported that over 60 percent of Ukrainian refugees in Moldova reside in Chisinau. Local educational institutions currently serve 1,809 Ukrainian pupils in primary and secondary schools, along with 505 children in preschool facilities.
