Moldova Trade Gap Widens in June

Moldova’s trade deficit widened to USD 586.6 million in June 2025 from USD 404.5 million in the same month last year, as exports dropped while imports surged.

Exports fell by 7.7% year-on-year to USD 266.3 million, weighed down by lower sales to CIS countries (-23.4%) and other countries (-27.1%), while sales rose for EU countries (3.6%).

Meanwhile, imports advanced by 23.1% to USD 852.9 million, driven by higher purchases from EU countries (22.7%) and other countries (27.6%), while arrivals from CIS countries (-29.3%) fell further.

For the first six months of the year, the country’s trade gap increased to USD 3,516.4 million from USD 2,535.7 million in the corresponding period of the previous year.
