Despite a 1.9% year-on-year increase in GDP and a 1.1% month-on-month increase in the first quarter of 2024, Moldova’s economy has remained relatively stagnant over the past five years with intermittent disruptions caused by various crises. The shock induced by the war in Ukraine in early 2022 seems to have stifled the country’s economic progress.
Key sectors such as manufacturing, utilities, agriculture, and HoReCa experienced double-digit growth rates, while others like constructions and services to households showed modest yet positive performances. Some sectors like transport and logistics had a negative impact on the overall GDP growth. Overall, the gross value added increased by 3.4% year-on-year, with net taxes making a negative contribution.
