What the numbers say
In 2025, Moldova's net foreign assets (current LCU) rose 404.59 million on 2024 (from 119.4 billion to 119.8 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +3.97 billion and a typical year strayed about 4.4 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 13.23 billion in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.68 billion in 2011. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 6.94 billion a year. A straight line explains 98% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 142.52 billion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 3.04 billion, against 20.18 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
