Moldova external debt climbs to 11.8 billion dollars according to central bank
Moldova’s total external debt reached $11.8 billion in the last quarter, marking a significant increase of over $1 billion since the end of the previous year.
Data released by the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) indicates that the external debt per capita now stands at approximately $6,000 for every citizen.
Public and private sector exposure
The public administration remains the largest debtor, accounting for $4.89 billion of the total volume. Within this category, long-term loans represent nearly $4.5 billion, signaling a reliance on extended financing structures.
Other sectors of the economy owe a combined $4.5 billion. Non-financial corporations hold the lion's share of this private debt, totaling over $3.9 billion in obligations.
Economic implications
The rising debt levels reflect both the state’s urgent financing requirements and the ongoing evolution of the private sector.
Analysts view these figures as a critical indicator for Moldova's future budget planning and overall financial stability in the current regional climate.
