dc.description.abstract This study examines the relationship between foreign direct investment and the economic development of the Republic of Moldova by integrating a theoretical perspective with empirical analysis. Based on official statistical data and public institutional sources, it evaluates the dynamics of the main macroeconomic and investment indicators, the economic performance of enterprises with foreign participation, and their association with the evolution of GDP per capita. For the period 2015–2024, a multifactor econometric model is estimated in which the growth rate of GDP per capita is analysed in relation to a set of indicators reflecting the dynamics of foreign direct investment and several related economic variables relevant to assessing the relationship between foreign capital and economic growth. The results highlight the existence of positive relationships among the variables examined. Overall, the study suggests that foreign direct investment may constitute a relevant factor in supporting economic growth, provided that its effects are leveraged within a favourable investment and institutional environment. en_US
dc.description.abstract Acest studiu examinează relația dintre investițiile străine directe și dezvoltarea economică a Republicii Moldova prin integrarea unei perspective teoretice cu analiza empirică. Pe baza datelor statistice oficiale și a surselor instituționale publice sunt evaluate dinamica principalilor indicatori macroeconomici și investiționali, performanța economică a întreprinderilor cu participare străină și asocierea acestora cu evoluția PIB-ului pe cap de locuitor. Pentru perioada 2015–2024, este estimat un model econometric multifactorial. Rata de creștere a PIB-ului pe cap de locuitor este analizată în raport cu un set de indicatori, care reflectă dinamica investițiilor străine directe și variabilele economice conexe, relevante pentru evaluarea relației dintre capitalul străin și creșterea economică. Rezultatele evidențiază existența unor relații pozitive între variabilele examinate. Per total, studiul sugerează că investițiile străine directe pot constitui un factor relevant în susținerea creșterii economice. Condiția principală este ca efectele acestora să fie valorificate într-un mediu investițional și instituțional favorabil. en_US
