Economy of Moldova

Moldova is the small country of the Eastern Europe and the most densely populated. Industry accounts for only 20% of its labor force, while agriculture's share is more than one-third. It is landlocked, bounded by Ukraine on the east and Romania to the west. Despite improvements on the economy the Republic of Moldova remains Europe's poorest nation

Moldova’s recovery from the impact of the global economic crisis continues: a 7.5 percent increase in real GDP has been reported for the first half of 2011, following the 6.9 percent GDP growth registered in 2010. The recovery seems to be driven by the 10 percent increase in industrial output reported for January-August 2011 seems, which in large measure is due to surging exports. Along with the 13 percent increase in remittancesreported during the first half of 2011, this export growth financed a 40 percent increase in dollar imports during January-August 2011, while still providing official reserves sufficient to finance the purchase of five months of merchandise imports

The rank of Moldova from the richest country in the measurement of National average per capita income using Atlas method in 2003 is-157th and from the  poorest its position is 48th with 590 slightly greater than India (530).
