You should come and visit and try So when I want to upload my 4k videos is no problem. No problem Everybody in the whole country or not really because we are petite country like a boutique country, so we're not that Large so that's why the connectivity is so good and without getting into politics, but It's thanks to somebody who kind of like said that was important right to get good internet Like one of the politicians said let's do it like a priority I think it is a lot of companies IT companies are coming to our country to test them Because it's a very small territory and you can test them very quickly. How how how? What's the status for Moldova you're part of the EU joining soon? What's happening? I think we are on our way to join it, but we do have a lot of facilities and Even geographically how we are Positioned so we are near Romania, which is already in the European Union And we have a lot of facilities. We don't need to visa us to go to Europe and I think a lot of Agreements like the commercial agreements are in place so you can easily Example Ukraine is not yet and it's not yes, but Moldova will join first well Purely politically it should join first because it's near to Europe, but maybe then Ukraine will join all right and How's the economy is like growing? Yes, it is growing actually right now, so Yeah, sorry, I'll keep pushing around. Yeah Let's let's go have a look behind here. What's going on over here? What's this video about this is about our food and this is one of the desserts that I really like It's called Kishineau de Sare It translates evening Kishineau Kishineau is our capital and it's a dried plum and it's boiled in red wine and Inside there's a walnut and you can serve it with sour cream and chocolate sprouts. It's amazing It's just melts in your mouth nice How much it cost oh My god kind of approximately yeah, and it's Moldovan dollars. So what do you call it? We have our own currency. It's Moldovan lay and lay means lions. So it's like Moldovan lions And how much it costs? That's a really good question not expensive not expensive at all really affordable All right. What is the design happening here? So because we are an agricultural Cultural country we do grow a lot of fruits and vegetables. They're all beyond organic by default so we export a lot of apples plums and actually a fun fact in The world there is only seven percent of the territory that is suitable to grow walnuts and Moldova all the territory is in these seven percent So we are representing the six percent of the worldwide export of walnuts Yes, so we are known also as a wine country and actually Sorry, yeah Actually, what's right? So the highest density in the world of vineyards per capita. It's Moldova Is this to do with the wine? This is ceramic So this is black ceramic. It's a specific firing process and That is the white ceramic. It's mostly for decoration Also, you can see the usual ceramic and actually in this region We found the civilization six thousand years ago that we're using ceramic and till now a day this region is producing ceramic as well and Moldova she's now has very good connection with the with their Ryan air everything, right?

Yes, there are reasons to invest there's also investment platforms and I just want to Talk to you about something interesting that I found out myself about my country So we created this IT Park and we lowered the taxes on the sale revenue for six seven percent and From 2019 we opened up 145 companies from 34 countries and you can imagine how much our government has it So that's that's Tax on companies. Yes profits. Yes on the sales revenue. Exactly. All right So all these companies can be like people internationally Want to come of course, but of course, there is a process of eligibility So you need to do certain things and be a certain company It's not like you open a company and put it in the mold of IT Park, right? So this is what I was telling you about the seven percent in the world of territory that it's suitable to grow walnuts and These are the things Monthly salary is growing.
