METRIX

Objective: Strengthen public-private dialogue, improve policy transparency, and foster a business-friendly regulatory environment in Moldova through data-driven advocacy.

Overview
Based on AmCham’s Business CORe, Business Climate Sentiment Survey, and Tax&Customs Survey and following the goal and philosophy of the Association, AmCham Moldova aims to foster a transparent, predictable, and efficient business environment by improving the dialogue between the private sector and public authorities. The project will develop and implement a data-driven advocacy mechanism – the AmCham METRIX (Moldovan Economic Transformation and Reform IndeX) – a comprehensive business climate assessment tool to evaluate policy impact on the business environment and several key activities that will foster and strengthen the messages from the METRIX.

Activities:

1. Develop and Implement the METRIX Index. It will be composite and reflect the aggregate result of three components, with a specific weight in the general index.

2. Strengthen Public-Private Dialogue: organizing Public Talks sessions with business and government representatives on key economic topics from AmCham METRIX.

3. Enhance Awareness: organizing #AmChamExplains – short, expert-led video explanations of key regulatory and economic topics based on the need for information that METRIX results will drive


Key Outcomes of the METRIX Model

  • Objective Business Climate Assessment – A structured, quantitative framework to evaluate the effectiveness of economic policies.
  • Policy-Driven Decision Making – Enhances public-sector accountability and aligns regulatory policies with business needs.
  • Transparency & Predictability – Informs both government and businesses on areas needing reform and improvement.
  • Scalability & Regional Replication – The index model can be extended to other policy areas or adopted in neighboring countries.

This initiative positions Moldova for a more competitive, transparent, and inclusive business environment in alignment with EU integration and global economic best practices.
