Business week: September 21–25, 2026
Pricier gas, grants for new businesses in Chisinau and housing prices — in brief.
Three stories that mattered for business and household budgets this week.
- ANRE proposes a 28.8% gas price increase for households — from 20.30 to 26.14 lei per m³ from October 1; the decision is due on September 28.
- Chisinau offers grants of up to 250,000 lei for new businesses — CMDA covers up to 70% of a project for young people and returning migrants; EU-funded grants close on October 31.
- NBM: Chisinau housing costs more than twice its 2019 level — but prices fell 1.1% in Q2 while the number of deals grew.
