Moody’s upgrade of Moldova’s credit rating from B3 to B2, with a stable outlook, makes our country more attractive to investors – the Ministry of Economic Development
As noted by the Ministry, the B2 rating indicates that Moldova continues to face economic and geopolitical challenges but has demonstrated a significantly improved ability to manage financial, political, and social risks. In concrete terms, this means better access to international financing, lower costs of external borrowing, and increased attractiveness of the country for foreign investment and development projects. Moody’s decision reflects the real progress achieved in strengthening institutions and governance, in reforms related to the EU accession process, and in reducing energy dependence. Political stability following the 2024–2025 elections, the ability to respond to energy crises, and resilience to external pressure were key factors in this reassessment. In March, as part of Moody’s Investors Service’s annual country rating review process, representatives from the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization provided informational support and participated in an open Q&A session with the Moody’s mission regarding macroeconomic forecasts and the Ministry’s policies to support Moldova’s economy. This active cooperation helped clarify the country’s strategic priorities and highlight progress in implementing economic reforms. The B2 rating is a clear signal that Moldova is on the path to economic and institutional consolidation, that progress toward European reforms is recognized internationally, and that the country is gradually becoming a more predictable and reliable partner for investors. Moody’s is one of the most important international credit rating agencies, assessing the financial risks of countries and companies. Through its ratings, the agency sets an international standard of trust, influencing investment decisions and the cost of financing in global markets. // 06.04.2026 — InfoMarket
