The official reserve assets of the Republic of Moldova amounted to 5 billion euros at the end of January, being 23.5 million euros less compared to December 31, 2025, reports IPN.
According to the data from the National Bank of Moldova, the decrease in assets was primarily due to the depreciation of the exchange rates of the currencies that make up the foreign exchange reserves in relation to the euro, which led to a decrease of about 30 million euros.
Payments related to the service of the external public debt contributed to the reduction of reserve assets by 15.7 million euros, and the revaluation of securities held in the investment portfolio had a negative impact of 3.3 million euros.
At the same time, throughout the month of January, reserve assets increased by 12.4 million euros due to revenues from the management of foreign exchange reserves. The net inflows related to the mandatory foreign exchange reserves of licensed banks increased the assets by another 12.2 million euros, while other net inflows amounted to 4.8 million euros.
At the end of last year, the official reserve assets were down by 23.4 million euros compared to the level recorded at the end of November.
