Moldovan banks’ nine-month profit rose 9.3% to 3.72 billion lei

3.72 billion lei — the net profit of Moldova’s 10 banks in the first nine months of 2026.

That is 9.3%, or 316 million lei, more than a year earlier, according to the National Bank of Moldova. Growth came mainly from Maib, the country’s largest bank, which reported a profit of 1.63 billion lei, up 20.9% (+282 million lei) on January–September 2025.

Moldindconbank came second with a net profit of 1.09 billion lei, up almost 4%. Together the two banks take about 73% of the whole banking system’s profit, leaving the rest to the other eight.

What it means for you

• The banking sector remains profitable and stable even as the economy grows slowly.
• The market is concentrated: when choosing a bank for a loan or account, compare offers from smaller banks too — they compete for clients.
