Government changes privatisation rules: listed state property to be sold at auction
The government has amended the rules for privatising state property. According to the Public Property Agency (APP), real estate, buildings, non-residential premises and other assets already on the privatisation list will be sold at auction.
One building and three non-residential premises move from the public to the private domain of the state so that they can be sold. Assets that institutions still need are removed from the list. In total, addresses and names were corrected for 17 items, six were removed and four new ones added. APP says auctions ensure transparency, competition and a price close to market value.
APP wants the changes to take effect on publication in the Official Gazette, as the 2026 budget counts on 700 million lei from the sale of state assets. This year, the privatisation of five state enterprises, including the Chișinău Glass Factory and Hotel Zarea, failed.
What it means for you
- Looking for commercial or production premises? Watch APP auction notices: the list has been updated.
- An auction means equal terms for all bidders and a price set by competition.
- The state needs revenue by year-end, so new auctions are likely in the coming months.
