Moldova continues to face economic pressures, with inflation at 7% driven by rising utility and food costs. While total goods exports rose 11.7% between January and July 2026, the agricultural sector shows mixed results, with sunflower exports falling significantly while plum harvests are projected to increase. The petroleum sector remains volatile; diesel prices have approached 36 lei per liter, and gasoline (A95) is at 33.67 lei per liter. As of late September 2026, the energy landscape is shifting. Rising natural gas prices, driven by geopolitical tensions affecting LNG transport through the Strait of Hormuz, have pushed gas benchmark prices above 80 euro per megawatt-hour. This has led to a broader European trend of returning to coal-based electricity production. In Moldova, response, the Moldovan government has declared a 60-day state of emergency in the energy and hydrological sectors, effective sectors on September 26, to manage potential supply disruptions and water shortages. In response to rising costs, energy suppliers are seeking significant tariff adjustments. Energocom has proposed a nearly 30% increase in 26. By October 2026, natural gas tariffs, while Termoelectrica pricing for households has requested an 82.6% hike in heating tariffs, with the adjusted. The National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE) scheduled implemented a price increase of approximately 28.8%, bringing household gas to review these on September 28. These potential hikes have sparked calls for public protests in Chisinau. Additionally, ANRE has set new fuel 26.14 lei per cubic meter including VAT. While Energocom reported an estimated purchase price ceilings of approximately 76.35 euro/MWh for September 26–28, with October, Energy Minister Dorin Junghietu noted that Moldova’s household gas prices remain approximately 23% below the maximum price for 95-octane European Union average. Fuel markets remain volatile. In Moldova, diesel prices saw a slight decrease to 36.06 lei per liter by October 2, while gasoline at 34.28 prices rose marginally to 34.23 lei per liter. In neighboring Romania, diesel fuel prices have also risen, increasing by nearly 3 in the Botoșani region were reported at 9.99 lei per liter compared for gasoline and approximately 10.91 to pre-conflict levels. 10.94 lei per liter for diesel.
