Moldova is splitting its state railway Calea Ferată din Moldova (CFM) into an operating company and an infrastructure manager, as the railway transport law provides; the step is also part of Moldova's commitments under the reform agenda of the 2025–2027 growth plan. A first government decision, reported on 11 February 2026, approved the founding of the fully state-owned joint-stock company CFM Pasageri și Marfă for passenger and freight services; it takes over rolling stock and transport-related liabilities, while track, stations and land stay with the state and privatisation is expressly ruled out. On 9 September 2026 the government approved the draft law for the final phase, in which the infrastructure unit becomes the joint-stock company CFM Infra and the restructuring is to be completed by 31 December 2026.

On 22 April 2026 Moldovan state railway CFM resumed train services between Prut-2 (Moldova) and Fălciu (Romania); the last freight train had run there in 1989 and passenger services ended in 2009. The basis is a refurbishment programme begun in 2025 and paid for from the Moldovan government's budget: about 4 km of track was fully renewed, the Prut bridge and the border stations Prut 2 and Fălciu were repaired, more than 3,000 sleepers were laid and the riverbank was reinforced; the line is set up for broad gauge (1,520 mm) and standard gauge (1,435 mm) and so links directly to the Romanian network. A technical inspection on 16 December 2025 confirmed that it works, and CFM director general Serghei Cotelinic had inspected the works on 20 March 2026, when conversion to the European gauge was still under way.

The British company Cornelius Electronics plans to invest about EUR 5 million in expanding production at the Edineț industrial park in north-west Moldova: three production halls with a combined floor area of more than 3,000 m² are to make wire harnesses and connection systems used in 14 sectors, including rail transport and renewable energy. The company currently employs 81 people, more than 80% of them women, and supplies only industrial customers in the EU; the expansion was made possible by a memorandum signed by the Invest Moldova Agency, Innovate Moldova and the municipality of Edineț, which changes the park's infrastructure plan. The report gives no figure for additional jobs.
