demand

The dynamics of demand and supply of foreign currency in 2025 lags behind last year, following the logic of business activity in the foreign exchange market, Logos Press reported.

The demand price for export quality “Moldova” grapes last week fluctuated within 14-16 lei/kg, which experts consider quite good in the conditions of the current season, – reports Logos Press.

A growing number of “world-renowned” experts are signaling that the global agri-food economy has entered a period of recession. High harvests of grain and oilseed crops in a number of major producing countries fuel their high (excessive) supply. At the same time, effective demand and food prices are declining almost everywhere in the world. Moldova is fully in this trend.

Global demand for vegetable oils will increase to 229.28 million tons, up nearly 3% from last year’s level, in the 2025-2026 marketing year, according to an estimate by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Logos Press reports.

The supply of foreign currency in the cash market exceeds demand, remaining one of the main sources of income and ways of saving for citizens, according to Logos Press.

One of the most debated issues on the real estate market is the ratio of supply and demand in terms of their role in market processes and pricing. Some say that in Chisinau the demand significantly exceeds the supply of apartments, which is why prices are rising like on yeast. In the opinion of other experts, the talk about a frenzy of demand is nothing more than a myth coming from real estate agencies to heat up the market.

At the end of last week, some horticultural farms in the south and center of Moldova started harvesting early varieties of sweet cherries. The first results are discouraging – the fruits are few, their quality (caliber, color, etc.) leaves much to be desired, – reports Logos Press.

Disproportions on the residential real estate market in Chisinau, which have been observed recently, will be overcome. After the period of unrestrained price increase, there will come a phase of “excessive supply” and gradual price reduction. The cyclical development of the market inevitably leads to this, says Angela Matkov, a consultant in the field of real estate valuation and investment projects.
