Moldova Industrial Output Growth Strongest in 3 Years

Industrial production in Moldova climbed by 11.7% year-on-year in May 2025, following an upwardly revised 1.1% rise in the previous month.

This marked the third consecutive month of growth in industrial activity and the strongest since May 2022, mainly driven by higher output in both the manufacturing (12.4% vs -5.1% in April) and mining sector (4.4% vs -2.1%).

On the other hand, production growth for electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply slowed significantly to 7.2% from a record high of 88.1% in the prior month.

On a monthly basis, total industrial production increased by 2.1% in May, recovering sharply from a 20.9% decline in the preceding period.
