Abstract

The Republic of Moldova has no continuous, publicly available input-output (IO) series: the National Bureau of Statistics stopped compiling interindustry tables after 2014, and the country is absent from the main international IO databases. This paper reconstructs the first annual IO series for Moldova under the CAEM Rev.2/NACE Rev.2 classification, covering 2014-2023 at 20-sector detail. The method combines four steps: digitisation of the 2014 Supply-Use Table, a classification concordance with demographic reconciliation, sequential biproportional (RAS) updating to official marginals, and a five-criterion coherence audit. The resulting tables satisfy the Eurostat accounting balance and show stable technical coefficients. Structural diagnostics reveal an economy-wide Leontief multiplier of about 2.03 in 2023, four key sectors, and manufacturing as the dominant intermediate supplier. The main contributions are a reusable dataset and a transferable reconstruction protocol for other post-Soviet economies.
