Overview
Moldova's gdp per capita stood at $8,239 in 2025, a rise of +$663 from 2024. The IMF projects $8,239 by 2025. Moldova ranked 96th globally.
Moldova’s GDP per capita has risen dramatically from a low of 1,206.50 in 1990 to an all‑time peak of 8,239.36 in 2025, placing the country 96th in the world among 190 economies. The sharpest decline occurred in 1999 when output fell to a trough of 399.50, reflecting the severe post‑Soviet transition shock that depressed output across the region. Since the early 2000s, reforms, modest foreign investment and remittances have driven a steady recovery, culminating in the 2025 level that is marginally below Colombia’s 8,249.22 and just above Equatorial Guinea’s 8,228.75, illustrating Moldova’s convergence with middle‑income peers. Over the 36‑year span, the trajectory has been upward‑sloping, although growth remains vulnerable to external shocks and domestic structural constraints. Continued diversification of exports and deeper integration into European supply chains could sustain the positive trend and push Moldova further up the global ranking.
