Against the backdrop of the republic’s broader demographic challenges, Chișinău maintains a demographic balance. The capital leads the way in the number of new families being formed: over 5,100 new marriages are registered annually, compared with 2,600 divorces.
Chișinău also leads in terms of birth rates — around 6,400 children are born in the city each year, which maintains a stable balance with mortality rates. The municipality’s current population with permanent residence is officially 714,500 people. This is almost a third of Moldova’s total population (30.2 per cent of the country’s 2,365,600 citizens).
The statistical overview ‘Chișinău in Figures’ clearly demonstrates why the capital is referred to as the economic heart of Moldova. Municipal enterprises generate around 60 per cent of Moldova’s gross domestic product (GDP), and more than half of all registered companies are concentrated here.
The municipality accounts for over 70 per cent of all new housing completed in the country. More than 5,600 new flats and detached houses are built in the city every year. Chișinău is one of the greenest cities in the region — 61.7 per cent of the country’s parks and public gardens are located within its boundaries, whilst green spaces cover 7.1 per cent of the municipality’s total area.
On this festive day, we wish our city peaceful skies, economic prosperity, clean parks and smooth roads. And to you, our dear readers, we wish good health, the warmth of family, confidence in the future and boundless optimism. May your homes always be filled with cosiness, prosperity and well-being!
