Moldova’s exports of services recorded robust growth in the period January-September 2025, outpacing goods exports.


In real terms, the exports of services advanced by 9.7 per cent, contributing 1.4 percentage points to the Gross Domestic Product’s 2-per cent growth recorded on the same period.


Thus, service exports represent approximately 16 per cent of GDP and exceeded goods exports by approximately 5 per cent, consolidating the position of the services sector as the main driver of Moldova’s foreign trade.


The areas that recorded the highest growth include the IT sector, travel services and business services.


According to the Economic Development and Digitalization Ministry (MDED), available data confirms the transition to a services-based economic growth model, with an emphasis on knowledge-intensive, skills-intensive and high added value areas.


In the context, MDED emphasized that it is essential that public policies continue to support the development of human capital, the digitalization of the economy, the improvement of the business climate and the promotion of the internationalization of Moldovan services, in order to fully capitalize on the potential of this strategic sector.


According to statistics data, over the past five years, the services sector has become one of the most dynamic pillars of the Moldovan economy. Between 2020 and 2024, their volume doubled, increasing from 1.27 billion to 2.7 billion dollars.
