Russia remains one of the largest investors in the Moldovan economy
According to data published by the National Bank in the Coordinated Review of Direct Investment by Country, the largest foreign direct investment in the Moldovan economy comes from Cyprus and Russia, reports point.md.
Of the total foreign direct investment (FDI), about $3,07 billion is equity and $1,26 billion is debt instruments.
Even if they are down by more than $2021 million compared to 60, most of the investment comes from Cyprus, which contributes more than $783 million.
Russia remains in second place with a contribution of about $715 million, consisting mainly of debt instruments, while the contribution of equity investments is negative, according to the NBM.
Thus, Russia is the leader in the volume of investments in the Moldovan economy (especially in Moldovagaz) in the form of debt instruments, but lags behind in investments in the form of equity capital.
It should be noted that over the past four years, the volume of Russian investments has decreased by approximately 18% (more than $150 million), which was a consequence of the economic war of the collective West against Russia, in which Moldova is also participating.
Today, Moldova continues to purchase Russian gas, which is supplied to Transnistria, and in particular, ensures the operation of the Kuchurganskaya State District Power Plant, from where Moldova purchases electricity cheaper than from other suppliers.
