- Moldovans face limited options for saving, with most funds held in banks, real estate, or cash, and very little in investment gold or financial instruments.
- Compared to Romania, Moldova’s capital is less active in the financial system, leading to illiquidity and poor capital redistribution.
- Investment gold is a globally recognized store of value, typically exempt from VAT, unlike in Moldova where VAT makes it less accessible.
- Gold offers high liquidity and strong price growth, making it a viable alternative to real estate for savings.
- Imposing VAT on investment gold restricts access, drives money abroad or into the shadow economy, and hinders market development and transparency.
