FX.co ★ Moldova GDP Rebounds in Q2 After Three-Quarter Slump

Moldova's economy saw a 1.1% year-on-year growth in the second quarter of 2025, marking a return to expansion after three consecutive quarters of contraction and bouncing back from a 1.2% downturn in the previous quarter. This positive shift was predominantly driven by a rise in gross fixed capital formation, which increased by 5.2%, and a 1.8% boost in household consumption. However, on the external trade front, net exports of goods and services decreased by 9.1%, attributed to a 5.5% drop in exports alongside a significant 12.9% increase in imports. Adjusting for seasonal variations, the GDP rose by 1.6% quarter-on-quarter in Q2, up from a 1.4% increase in the first quarter of 2025. Overall, for the first half of 2025, Moldova's GDP experienced a 0.3% contraction compared to a 0.2% decline in the same period the previous year.
