2025 Budget implementation: Government invests in better public services – indexed pensions, expanded social support and access to more medical services

The Government has approved the reports on the execution of the main public budgets for 2025 – the state budget, the state social insurance budget and the mandatory health insurance funds. The data show that public resources were primarily directed towards social protection of the population, more accessible medical services and investments in infrastructure.

The execution of the state budget for 2025 reveals revenues of over 76.4 billion lei, while expenditures amounted to about 92.1 billion lei. An important share of the resources was allocated to financing social programs, public investments and projects supported from external sources.

In the field of social protection, the state social insurance budget enabled the implementation of several measures with direct impact on citizens. In 2025, social benefits were indexed by 10%, above the initially forecast level. At the same time, monthly allowances for certain categories of beneficiaries were increased, and more families and vulnerable individuals received one-off financial support. The measures with direct impact on the population include:

granting a one-off financial support of 5,000 lei for children with disabilities and persons with severe disabilities;

financial support of 1,500 lei for children born between April 2020 and April 2025;

a one-off support of 1,000 lei to help pupils in grades I–IX prepare for the new school year;

granting a one-off financial support of 20,000 lei to World War II veterans.

Also, starting 1 July 2025, paternity leave was extended, with fathers receiving paternity benefit for each newborn or adopted child, including in the case of multiple pregnancies. Other changes concerned the extension of survivor’s pension rights to children with severe disabilities and to persons with severe disabilities since childhood.

In the health sector, in 2025, the funds exceeded 17.4 billion lei, and the resources were used to expand the population’s access to medical services and modern treatments:

the list of reimbursed medicines was expanded for patients with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, migraines and osteoporosis;

around 683,000 high-performance medical services were financed;

over 14,000 cataract surgeries were performed;

more than 7,000 people benefited from prosthetic interventions for the musculoskeletal system.

For the first time, the National Health Insurance Company (CNAM) also financed expensive medicines for rare and severe diseases, including haemophilia and multiple sclerosis. In total, every third person in the Republic of Moldova benefited last year from reimbursed medicines.

At the same time, the authorities continued to invest in medical infrastructure. About 100 projects to modernize public medical institutions were implemented in 2025, contributing to improved treatment conditions, equipping facilities with modern equipment and reducing energy costs.
