Tuesday, 23 July 2019
In 2019 and 2020 the GDP of the Republic of Moldova is to increase by about 4.4-4.5%, mainly due to industry and trade. In both sectors the gross added value will increase in 2019 by more than 6%, while lower growth rates of around 4% in industry and over 5% in trade are forecast for 2020. The gross added value in the agricultural sector will see a relatively modest growth in 2019 by about 1.8%, but in 2020, if climatic conditions are normal, the agricultural sector might grow by just over 4%. The construction sector is projected to grow by 6.8% in 2019 and by about 3.4% in 2020. The conclusions were drawn by the experts of the ”Expert-Grup” Independent Think-Tank during the launching event of the 20th edition of the economic report ”MEGA”.
