This paper investigates the effects of socioeconomic development as well as external
financial sources such as official development aid and remittances on health indicators in
Moldova. Time series annual data from 1997 to 2019 was used mainly from the World Bank
data bank. First, it was found that higher values of GDP per capita and development aid lead
to higher life expectancy at birth and lower infant mortality rates. Remittances however do
not have a positive effect on life expectancy. As a matter of fact, relying on a theoretical
background and research framework hypotheses, the results confirm the negative
macroeconomic implications of remittances on inflation. Considering the short length of the
analysed period, the results obtained while analysing infant mortality are more dynamic and
better adapt to the analysed period.
