Financial Stress Index (FSI) – level and components (quarterly)

The Financial Stress Index summarizes tensions in the financial system. The shaded areas show the contribution of three indicator groups—banking market, interest rates, and the foreign exchange market. When the FSI approaches or exceeds the financial stress threshold, risks in the financial system rise.
The FSI score is bounded between 0 and 1 (unitless).

Vulnerability Index – level and components (quarterly)

Vulnerability Index shows how selected indicators of the banking system deviate from their long‑run averages. Bars show the contribution of each component: positive values increase vulnerability, while negative values reduce it. The total vulnerability index is the sum of components.
The score is unitless. Quarter labels are shown in the “Q” format.

Risk map — component profile (—)

Component values are standardised (0 = historical average; “+” above average; “−” below average) for the selected quarter.

Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) — primary, secondary, aggregate

The Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) tracks advertised prices for dwellings in Chișinău municipality. Separate indices are computed for the primary market (new dwellings) and the secondary market (existing dwellings); the aggregate index combines them using transaction weights.
2019 (base year) = 100; values above 100 indicate higher prices relative to the base year.

Credit‑to‑GDP ratio — long‑term trend and gap (quarterly)

The light line shows the credit‑to‑GDP ratio (annualized), the darker line the long‑term trend, and the grey hatched area the gap (credit‑to‑GDP − trend) anchored at 0: negative values are below 0; positive values are above 0. Click the chart to select the quarter.
