Moldova’s output is expected to grow by 1.8% this year, lowering February’s forecast by 0.2 percentage points due to weak production and exports, according to a report<\/a> published by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, IPN reports.<\/p>\n\n

Growth in Eastern Europe and Caucasus countries is expected to continue to fall to 3.5% in 2025, before recovering to 4.3% in 2026.<\/p>\n\n

The economic outlook for Moldova and Ukraine has been revised downwards, reflecting weaker demand from the European Union and the continued deterioration of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. These include a marked increase in trade and economic policy uncertainty, weaker external demand and the direct and indirect effects of recently announced import tariff increases. <\/p>\n\n

Most economies in the EBRD’s regions have downgraded their growth projections for this year, with the largest downward revisions in the Western Balkans, Central Europe and the Baltics.<\/p>\n\n

EBRD Chief Economist Beata Javorcik said that while understanding the full macroeconomic effects of the announced tariffs will take time, it is clear that the regions have entered a period of heightened uncertainty and slower economic growth.<\/p>\n\n

“Reducing trade tensions through constructive dialogue and building a consensus on trade policy among key stakeholders is crucial, as prolonged uncertainty has painful economic costs,” concluded Beata Javorcik.<\/p>\n\n

Since 1992 to date, the EBRD has implemented 183 projects in the Republic of Moldova worth some \u20ac2,604 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
