Igor Dodon, leader of the Socialists, stated with regret that the Republic of Moldova is on the verge of a serious economic and energy crisis that could significantly affect the country.

“Budget revenues from taxes and duties are decreasing against the backdrop of economic collapse, external grants are almost no longer coming (in three months — only about 6.5% of the planned amount), the deficit is growing (in three months — 3.093 billion lei, which is 877.2 million more than last year), and the state is increasingly resorting to loans from banks. Only in March 2026, the Government borrowed 6.8 billion lei from commercial banks and repaid 6.4 billion from previous loans. Overall, in the first quarter, 16.1 billion lei were borrowed and 12 billion were repaid, which means that approximately 4.1 billion lei remained in the budget,” the MP noted.

The Socialist leader also addressed an appeal to the political class: “We live in the same country. Let us look for solutions together to overcome this crisis, which will affect everyone. We must consolidate our efforts in order to get through this period with minimal losses.”
