9.6 million lei for 5 streets: Ungheni sells out its municipal bonds, procurement is open

All 10,000 municipal bonds issued by Ungheni — at 1,000 lei each — were fully subscribed within days of the public offering opening on August 10. On August 26, a working group of municipal councilors from all factions selected 5 streets — 2.5 kilometers, 23,000 square meters — and launched the procurement: the 4 lots, worth a total of 9.61 million lei, are now listed on MTender. The city hall's announcement names the streets, and the procurement documents on MTender also show the estimated cost per lot.

800 metres of new pavement on Ștefan cel Mare, almost ready for Ungheni's City Days

On Ștefan cel Mare street in Ungheni, the busy stretch between the former biochemical plant and Podurilor street is getting a pavement — the first on this section, according to City Hall: about 800 metres long, 2 metres wide. The work, done by the municipal company «Servicii Comunale Ungheni», has reached its final stretch and should be ready for the city's festival at the end of August; the road markings and the shaping of the shoulder still remain. The pavement is one item on a list of roads the city is paying for in 2026 with money borrowed through municipal bonds.

Two more streets paved in Ungheni Vale, „from the local budget”. One is on the 10-million-lei road list, funded by debt

Ungheni City Hall announced on Friday that it had paved two more streets in the Ungheni Vale neighbourhood — Arcașii lui Ștefan and Suceava, 850 metres, „from the City Hall budget”. One of them, Arcașii lui Ștefan, appears however on the list of roads that the Municipal Council approved in May to be modernised from the 10-million-lei loan raised through municipal bonds — money that the people of Ungheni will repay, with interest. The decision publishes only the total ceiling, not how much each street costs.

Ungheni borrows 10 million lei for roads on the capital market: what municipal bonds are

The town of Ungheni is borrowing 10 million lei to modernise its streets — not through a classic bank loan, but by issuing municipal bonds, that is debt securities that both residents and companies can buy. Mayor Vitalie Vrabie presented the issue at a national event in Chișinău on 1 July, alongside Leova and Ceadîr-Lunga. It is the first time Ungheni has turned to the capital market, and at 10 million lei it becomes the largest issue by a Moldovan town after the capital, from the publicly known figures. The money goes to an already approved list of roads; the interest will be paid, over time, by the local budget — that is, by the people of Ungheni.

770 metres of pavement with a bike lane on Ștefan cel Mare: a busy Ungheni street will finally have a sidewalk end to end

On a busy stretch of Ștefan cel Mare street in Ungheni — from the former biochemical plant to Podurilor street — a pavement is being built for the first time: 770 metres, with a bike lane, after which the street will have a sidewalk along its whole length. The work is done by the municipal company «Servicii Comunale Ungheni», and it is one item on a list of roads the city is financing in 2026 with borrowed money, through municipal bonds — while residents of other streets are asking for pavements too.
