"I repeat: in the current geopolitical and economic realities, attracting private investment into the economy, be it industry or agriculture, is a priority task for the Government.
The National Project on Modernisation of Energy and Utility Infrastructure adopted last year envisages, among other things, the development of industry through the production of new types of products.
Domestic enterprises can provide only 40 per cent of equipment needs. Therefore, the Government should establish its production through the provision offtake contracts to local plants."
