EBA Moldova (European Business Association)

What EBA Moldova (European Business Association) does

EBA Moldova (European Business Association) is a non-profit business membership association established in 2012 and headquartered in Chișinău, Moldova, at str. Columna 88 in the Old Town Residence complex. It serves over 80 member companies representing the principal European and international enterprises operating in Moldova across banking, telecommunications, retail, FMCG, energy, automotive, logistics, and manufacturing. Its core products are advocacy and lobbying services (position papers, sector committees, participation in public-private dialogue on tax, customs, and DCFTA implementation), member-facing publications (annual reports, quarterly Advocacy Digest, newsletters, Business Climate Updates), training programs (Step In GDPR/AML Compliance, AML Compliance Training for Financial Institutions, Economic Journalism Academy), and business networking events anchored by the annual General Assembly. The association offers Gold, Silver, and Ordinary membership tiers with differentiated benefits.

The organization generates revenue through two streams: recurring annual membership fees from member companies, and donor-funded project budgets from international development partners including GIZ Moldova, the European Union, USAID, UNDP, and AID. Active donor projects span DCFTA implementation support, Automotive Sector strengthening, Extended Producer Responsibility, Regulatory Impact Analysis, and the Advanced Cross-River Capacities for Trade (AdTrade) program. The association maintains institutional ties with the EU Delegation in Moldova—the Head of which serves as EBA's Honorary President—and collaborates regionally with EBA Georgia and EBA Ukraine on a GIZ-funded COVID-19 business recovery initiative. EBA is governed by a Board led by the Moldcell General Director (President) and the Grawe Carat General Director (Vice President), and operates with approximately 11 staff.
