The currency chart for Moldova shows historical data for the Moldovan Leus per USD exchange rate. These are monthly averages and not end-of-month currency values. An increase means depreciation against the USD as one can exchange more Moldovan Leus per USD. Depreciation implies that goods from Moldova become cheaper to export and it becomes cheaper for foreigners to visit Moldova.

For that period, the average exchange rate for Moldova was 15.2909 Moldovan Leus per USD with a minimum of 9.6517 Moldovan Leus per USD in August 2008 and a maximum of 20.3752 Moldovan Leus per USD in January 2016.

They may experience currency crises. These and other issues are discussed in detail on our Exchange rate page.
