Late‑May 2026 data confirmed stroke and cardiovascular disease as the leading causes of death in Moldova and Romania, with the north of Moldova showing the highest share of circulatory deaths. The eRețeta system recorded over 174 000 patients, about 126 000 of whom were treated for circulatory conditions, and a new electronic module for cataract and prosthetic‑surgery waiting lists was launched on 1 July. The health‑insurance fund added a dienogest product for endometriosis, a rosuvastatin‑ezetimibe combo for hypercholesterolaemia and a fully reimbursed methylprednisolone formulation for transplant patients. A 13‑centre stroke‑care network halved treatment delays, cutting mortality from 163 to 124 per 100 000. The electricity tariff stayed at $0.177 /kWh. A 170 MW wind‑farm auction and a memorandum with U.S. firms for a 100 MW gas plant were announced in early June. On 5 July the Day‑Ahead Market logged a record 2 130 MWh traded, revealing a solar surplus, a storage shortfall of 330 MWh (to rise to ~600 MWh by year‑end) and prompting higher imports from Ukraine and Romania. Over half of renewable producers face bankruptcy risk, and Premier Energy now offers bill recalculations for long‑term vacant premises. Agricultural trends remain complex. While corn and wheat exports showed growth earlier in the period, the association Forța Fermierilor has urged the Commission for Exceptional Situations to restore import licensing for Ukrainian cereals and oilseeds. The group warns that Ukrainian prices have dropped 30–40% following Odesa port blockades, and that unmanaged imports could flood the market, depress farmgate prices, and trigger retaliatory import suspensions from Romania. Conversely, Moldova Fruct forecasts strong upcoming harvests for apricots (15,000–17,000 tons) and ~~apples, noting that improved irrigation and frost protection may help meet export standards as broader European apple supplies are projected~~ apples. As of mid-August, plum producers also report a positive outlook, expecting yields approximately 12% to ~~decline.~~ 16% higher than in 2025.
