International Monetary Fund

No 1996/117, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This paper describes economic developments in the Republic of Moldova during 1992–96. The authorities embarked on a comprehensive program of financial stabilization beginning in 1993. By 1995, the fiscal deficit had been cut to 5½ percent of GDP and the National Bank had implemented a tight monetary policy. Output stabilized and exports and imports rose rapidly, with the current account deficit narrowing to 6½ percent of GDP from 13½ percent in 1993. Data for the first half of 1996 show inflation remaining low and output recovering.
