Securities issuance in Moldova up 71.8% in the first half, to MDL 733.76 million
MDL 733.76 million — that is how much Moldovan companies raised through securities issues in January–June 2026, 71.8% more than a year earlier, when the total was MDL 427.19 million.
According to the National Commission for Financial Markets (CNPF), the money came through fewer issues — 17 versus 28 last year — but the average issue grew almost 2.8 times, to MDL 43.16 million. Corporate bonds were the main instrument: four issues worth MDL 600.28 million, or 81.8% of the total. Another 13 share issues brought in MDL 133.48 million, including contributions to set up the Moldova International Stock Exchange.
The secondary market moved the other way: trades in existing securities totalled MDL 756.16 million, 6.9% less than in the first half of 2025.
What it means for you
- Corporate bond issues can give mid-sized and large companies a non-bank funding option, but the outcome depends on costs and market conditions.
- The market is still narrow: a few large issues and low liquidity for resale.
- If you plan an issue, prepare financial statements and CNPF documentation early.
