Exports from the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova to the Member States of the European Union reached the 83% threshold in 2024

In 2024, the share of exports from the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova to the Member States of the European Union (EU) registered a significant increase, reaching 83% of the total exports of the region. The main destinations of economic agents' exports to the EU markets were Romania, Poland, Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic, etc.

At the same time, the import from the EU to the Transnistrian region amounted to 54%. This trend reflects the strengthening of the region's trade relations with European markets and the deeper economic connection to single market rules (national and European).

Carrying out all foreign trade transactions over the last almost 3 years through control points monitored by the Customs Service of the Republic of Moldova, as well as based on national model permissive acts, has produced a substantial impact for the economic and more active reintegration of the region.

The changed logistics chains have favored an even more pronounced reorientation of commercial activity in the region towards the markets of the EU.

At the same time, it contributed to strengthening the connection between both banks of the Nistru River, highlighting that the European integration process standardizes commercial and economic standards and procedures throughout the country.

Economic indicators show that, despite geopolitical and security challenges, the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova remains oriented towards the EU as the main trading partner, continuing to adapt its economic activities to align with the requirements of the national normative framework that transposed the European regulations in the field.
