Alexandrin Guțu misses out on Greco-Roman wrestling world title

Greco-Roman wrestler Alexandrin Guțu missed the chance to become world champion. In the final, Azerbaijan's Sanan Suleimanov defeated the Moldovan 3–8. Guțu made a strong impression in Astana; on the first day of the competition in Kazakhstan, he won four straight matches in the under-77 kg weight category. The final against Sanan Suleimanov took place on Sunday, October 25.

Under these circumstances, Alexandrin Guţu missed the chance to match the achievement of another Greco-Roman wrestler—Victor Ciobanu—who became a world champion in 2021.

Sanan Suleimanov also holds two World Championship silver medals and a continental title won in 2020.

Moldova seeks to retain 7% IT tax after EU accession

The Republic of Moldova aims to maintain the preferential tax regime for companies within the Moldova IT Park even after joining the European Union. The authorities have requested a transition period of five to six years, during which the park’s residents would continue to benefit from the existing incentives. Currently, approximately 3,000 companies pay a single 7% tax rate, guaranteed by law until 2035. A framework for the future of this tax regime is expected to be agreed upon with the European Commission by the end of 2027.
