Macroeconomic Stabilisation in Transition Economies : The Moldovan Experience
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines Moldova’s performance in the area of Macroeconomic stabilisation since independence. Analysis of key indicators such as prices, the budget, monetary growth and output reveal that after initial problems progress has been relatively satisfactory more recently. Furthermore, political developments have not impeded reforms to a great extent as they have in other post Soviet republics. However, Moldova’s progress in Macrostabilisation has not been unique, and can be seen across most of Eastern Europe. JEL Classification: N10, O52, P21, P26, P27, P30

The paper discusses the reasons for the observed variation in the sequencing, speed and content of reform policies, in the 1990s, among 25 post-socialist countries of Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union.
