Analysis# Moldova Current Account Balance
Moldova's current account balance reached -20.4% of GDP in 2026, marking its worst performance on record since 1992. This represents a dramatic deterioration from the nation's peak of -1.2% in 2002. Over the 34-year period, Moldova's current account has declined by 353.3%, reflecting persistent structural imbalances in its external trade and financial accounts.
The sharpest deterioration accelerated after 2017, when the deficit stood at -5.8%. The deficit nearly tripled by 2022, reaching -17.1%, before moderating slightly to -11.3% in 2023. Recent projections show renewed pressure, with the deficit widening to -19.3% in 2025 and -20.4% in 2026, suggesting Moldova faces mounting external vulnerabilities and increasing reliance on capital inflows to finance its trade gap.
