External debt at the end of Q I 2016 (preliminary data) [1]
The gross external debt of the Republic of Moldova recorded US$ 6,399.63 million as of 31.03.2016, increasing by 1.0% during Q I 2016.
The external debt statistics is calculated according to the new methodology recommended by the IMF in the EDS Guide /BPM6. The total stock of the gross external debt calculated according to the new standard is the same as according to the previous standard (BPM5), but with a range of changes in structure. Particularly, the debt for the imports of gas has been reclassified from short-term debt into long-term debt and is reflected under the item “Direct investment: intercompany lending” (because it is a liability to foreign direct investors).
