According to Gazprom, Moldova's debt for supplied gas currently stands at $433 million ($709 million with overdue payments).On 22 October, Moldova's parliament introduced a state of emergency in the country due to the energy crisis to quickly allocate funds from the budget for the purchase of additional volumes of gas in order to maintain pressure in the gas pipeline.On 1 October, Gazprom extended the contract with Moldova for the supply of gas for a month. Moldovagaz reported on 6 October that gas consumption in the country temporarily exceeded the supply of fuel from Russia, which might lead to problems with the supply of electricity.
