Latest Updates

Moldova’s trade deficit widened to USD 593.2 million in April 2025 from USD 484.1 million in the same month last year, as exports dropped while imports surged. Year-on-year, exports dropped by 9.3% to USD 265.6 million, weighed down by lower sales to EU countries (-16.9%) and CIS (-15.1%), while shipments to other countries (11.5%) rose. Meanwhile, imports climbed by 10.6% to USD 858.8 million, driven by higher purchases from EU countries (17.4%) and from other countries (4.2%), while arrivals from CIS countries (-3.2%) fell. For the first four months of the year, the country’s trade gap increased to USD 2330.8 million from USD 1,717.6 million in the corresponding period of the previous year.
