Business and Economy Review, No. 11
Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
Issue No. 11 of the Business and Economy Review examines the state of the Moldovan economy at the start of 2006. It covers industrial output in January 2006, services, the budget, the banking sector and foreign trade, pointing to uneven growth and emerging risks.
Industrial production fell by 1 per cent in January 2006, mainly because of a dramatic decline in winemaking. The performance of services suggests that economic growth remains polarised.
The budgetary situation is good for the time being, but new risks are emerging on the horizon. Foreign banks continue to show interest in the local banking services market, while the structural rebalancing of trade is driven by a contraction of exports rather than by their expansion.
