Mission findings

• The IMF mission found that Moldova continues to improve their recording, compilation and dissemination of public sector debt statistics (PSDS) reflecting potential fiscal risks.
• Moldova faces some statistical challenges going forward.
• The existing improvements increase transparency of fiscal risks but further work is needed to fully capture all public-sector fiscal exposures.

Key recommendations and expected outcomes

• Adoption of the mission's recommendations, along with comprehensive monitoring of on-lending and contingent liabilities, would:
  • increase the Moldovan policymaker’s ability to forecast future fiscal risk; and
  • allow active monitoring of the gross debt of all public-sector institutions in line with the new Fiscal Risk Statement.
• These actions would translate into:
  • a sound Public Finance Management structure; and
  • more accurate macroeconomic surveillance and analysis.
