In Moldova, the volume of government Securities (GS) issued on the primary market in 2023 has been increased by 3.5 billion lei (almost 2.2 times) - from 3 billion to 6.5 billion lei.
This is stipulated by the amendments to the Law on State Budget for 2023, adopted earlier by the parliament and published in Monitorul Oficial (the Official Journal of Moldova). At the same time, according to the document, the redemption of the bonds issued to fulfill the Ministry of Finance's payment obligations arising from the state guarantees will be maintained at the level of 310 million lei this year. According to the Finance Ministry's estimates, as of December 31, 2023, the balance of the domestic state debt will not exceed 40 billion 030.4 million lei, increasing by 2 billion 546.5 million lei (+6.8%) against the previously approved value, mainly due to the impact of the increase in the volume of GS issue on the primary market. In the structure of the state debt, projected at the end of 2023 at the level of 108 billion 826.9 million lei, the share of the internal state debt will amount to 36.8%, while the external one - 63.2%. // 26.10.2023 - InfoMarket.
