Overview
Moldova's remittances received stood at $2.0B in 2025, a rise of +$67.4M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $2.0B by 2025. Moldova ranked 72nd globally.
Moldova’s remittance inflows have expanded dramatically since the earliest recorded figure of 1,020,000.00 in 1995, reaching an all‑time peak of 2,191,540,000.00 in 2013 before settling at 1,985,168,943.93 in 2025, which places the country 72nd globally. The long‑term upward trajectory reflects the growing reliance of Moldovan households on earnings from abroad, particularly from labor migrants in the European Union. Compared with peer economies, Moldova’s 2025 receipts are slightly below Kosovo’s 2,044,317,543.33 and Côte d’Ivoire’s 2,104,869,542.75, yet above Australia’s 1,930,951,189.18, underscoring its position among middle‑ranked recipients. The modest decline from the 2013 high suggests a stabilization phase, likely influenced by tighter migration policies in destination countries and modest domestic wage growth. Continued diversification of remittance channels and potential policy incentives for diaspora investment could sustain or modestly increase inflows in the coming years.
