Average consumer prices in Republic of Moldova increased in December 2025 compared with the previous month and remained higher than a year earlier, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics. The figures provide an overview of price developments at the end of the year and for the 12-month period.
In December, average consumer prices were up modestly compared with November 2025. Over the longer year-on-year measure, prices were about 6.8% higher than in December 2024, indicating that inflation remained elevated in 2025. This year-on-year increase reflects the cumulative change in the cost of goods and services bought by households over the last 12 months.
The monthly rise in December followed smaller price increases reported earlier in the autumn, with average prices having risen by smaller amounts in preceding months including November. Across 2025, consumer prices showed a general upward trend when compared with the same months in the previous year.
These developments come against the backdrop of broader inflation dynamics in Moldova. Price changes over the year have been influenced by movements in food, non-food items and services, and remain above the central bank’s target range.
The statistics agency releases consumer price indices each month and these figures contribute to the calculation of annual inflation rates used by policymakers, analysts and financial institutions to monitor price stability and economic conditions.
