In 2025, investments in the Republic of Moldova grew by 20%, according to Anca Dragu, Governor of the National Bank of Moldova. She noted that this increase occurred despite the challenging geopolitical and international context.
In an interview with Agerpres, Dragu said that for the coming years, there is “a forecast of double-digit investment growth.” She emphasized that such projections show both domestic and foreign entrepreneurs have confidence in the country’s economy.
“Investments are rising—both foreign and domestic. Last year, for example, in the financial and insurance sectors, one of the largest European players, an Austrian company, strengthened its presence in the Moldovan market with an acquisition exceeding nine million euros.
We also see investments increasing in other sectors despite geopolitical and international challenges. I am referring to domestic investments as well. Looking at economic growth figures, for 2025 we have a 20% increase in investments. That is significant,” Dragu said.
She added that these investments are transparent and quantifiable, while credit relative to gross domestic product reached an “impressive” nearly 30%, marking the highest increase in the region.
