Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.

The January 2014 issue (#43) of Economic Reality, published by the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, assesses the state of the Moldovan economy. It finds that recovery continues but remains slow, with several domestic and external risks, and it draws on the Composite Leading Indicator for December 2013.

In December 2013, the Composite Leading Indicator (CLI) continued its upward trend, rising by 2.4 points from the previous month, from 98.5 to 100.9 points.

Even so, the recovery tends to be slow. The robust economic growth of 2013 was driven roughly 50% by cyclical factors, namely a favourable agricultural year and “catch up” growth, rather than by structural ones. The slow rebound of the indicator therefore suggests that the Moldovan economy will return to much more moderate growth in 2014 than in the previous year. The page also offers the publication for download and a related Transnistrian Economic Reality issue for January 2014.
