National Bank of Moldova reports official reserve assets fell EUR 56.71 million to EUR 5.21 billion at end-April

The National Bank of Moldova published data showing that official reserve assets stood at EUR 5,209.83 million on 30 April 2026, down EUR 56.71 million from EUR 5,266.54 million at 31 March 2026. Net foreign assets stood at EUR 5,182.64 million, a monthly decrease of EUR 55.90 million. The fall in official reserve assets was driven by exchange rate depreciation of reserve currencies against the euro of EUR 40.69 million, external public debt service payments of EUR 21.53 million, net foreign exchange sale interventions of EUR 14.10 million, payments by Moldova’s Ministry of Finance of EUR 4.79 million, and revaluation of securities held in the investment portfolio of EUR 1.60 million. These factors were partly offset by income from reserve management of EUR 12.67 million, receipts in favour of the Ministry of Finance of EUR 7.41 million, including EUR 6.46 million in loans and grants for investment projects and EUR 0.95 million in budget support disbursed by the International Development Association, net inflows to the Office for Management of External Assistance Programmes accounts of EUR 1.98 million, net inflows related to licensed banks’ required reserves in foreign currency of EUR 0.24 million, and other net inflows of EUR 3.70 million. Since the end of 2025, official reserve assets increased by EUR 105.57 million and net foreign assets by EUR 108.00 million.
