Inflation analysis
Inflation in Moldova
This page covers 36 years of Moldova consumer price data, from 1991 to 2026. Series that begin this late usually do so because the country, the currency or the statistical agency behind the index did not exist in its current form before then. The steepest single year on record was 1993, when consumer prices in Moldova rose 1,614%. That is hyperinflation — prices were rising faster than most people could spend their money, and figures from either side of an episode like that are barely comparable without the context of what happened to the currency itself.
Prices fell in 1 of those 35 years, including in recent decades — about 3% of the time — most sharply in 2009, when they dropped 0.1%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1990s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 404.9% a year, while the 2010s were the calmest at 6.0%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 8.4% a year, markedly calmer than the 99.7% average across the whole record.
