In the 2025 progress report, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization Eugeniu Osmochescu said that in the third quarter of 2025, GDP grew by 5.2%, while in the period from January to September the cumulative increase was 2%. The growth was driven more specifically by investment ($16.7 billion), but also by agriculture, construction and industry.
“Yes, the industrial growth of about 3% is quite small for us this year, but it is a restart compared to the baseline if you look at past years,” the minister said.
Osmokescu said the ministry has planned about 150 activities to be implemented in 2026 to shift from consumerism to investment.
He believes that 2026 will be a crucial year to consolidate the positive trend of the economy and attract foreign capital. The main priorities include modernization of industry, infrastructure, digitalization of the economy and sectoral reforms important for sustainable development.
“As I have already said, we aim for Moldova to develop according to an economic model based on investments and innovations. …And once again, I will repeat: investments and reinvestments are of key importance for the growth of Moldova’s economy,” the economy minister concluded.
