Institutions & Energy Policy
Moldova is a landlocked country bordered by Romania to the west and by Ukraine to the East. It was part of the Soviet Union and became an independent country in 1991. Transnistria is a separatist province that seceded from Moldova in 1992. It is not recognized by the UN and is officially considered as part of Moldova.

Moldova imports almost all the oil products it consumes. Oil product imports increased by an average of 5%/year starting in 2015 and reached around 1 Mt in 2020.
