Moldova Gross Savings
Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS
Moldova's gross savings was 5.79% in 2025, ranked 154th globally. This represents a 29.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1992–2025.
Overview
Moldova's gross savings stood at 5.79% in 2025, a rise of +1.31% from 2024. The IMF projects 5.79% by 2025. Moldova ranked 154th globally.
Moldova's gross savings as a share of GDP have undergone a pronounced structural decline, falling from an all-time peak of 55.29 in 1992 to a historic low of 4.48 in 2024, with the latest available figure at 5.79 in 2025, ranking the country 154th globally. This downward trajectory contrasts sharply with the immediate post-Soviet period, when savings rates were substantially higher, reflecting stronger household and state accumulation. Over the past three decades, persistent economic vulnerabilities, remittance dependence, and weak institutional capacity have likely contributed to the erosion of domestic savings. At 5.79, Moldova's savings rate now sits close to that of Haiti at 5.51 and slightly below Egypt’s 5.81, aligning it with economies facing similar constraints in capital formation. The prolonged decline suggests limited internal resources available for investment, increasing reliance on external financing for growth. Without policy measures to boost household savings, enhance financial inclusion, or improve macroeconomic stability, the savings rate is likely to remain depressed, constraining long-term development prospects.
