Moldova’s foreign reserves hit a record EUR 5.65 billion

EUR 5.652 billion — that is the value of Moldova’s official reserve assets on 30 October 2026, an all-time high.

Over the month, the reserves held by the National Bank of Moldova grew by EUR 199.65 million (+3.66%). The main contributor was European Commission budget support under the Reform and Growth Facility, worth EUR 144.11 million. Stronger reserve currencies against the euro added another EUR 44.15 million.

External public debt service, meanwhile, took EUR 27.77 million out of the reserves. Since the start of the year they have risen by EUR 548.67 million, or about 10.75%.

What it means for you

• Larger reserves give the central bank more room to smooth sharp swings in the leu — good news for importers and anyone with foreign-currency loans.
• A stable exchange rate makes pricing and foreign contracts easier to plan.
• Still, the growth relies largely on external funding rather than exports, so future tranches are worth watching.
