The Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM), Octavian Armașu, held a questions and answers session for students and teachers from technical and higher vocational education institutions with economic profile in the Republic of Moldova. The event was organized following the lecture of the head of the National Bank presented last week for educators and future economists in the context of the recent signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the National Bank of Moldova and the European Central Bank in the field of banking supervision.
In the opening of the discussion, Octavian Armașu remarked that the possibility of such meetings, even virtual ones, brings a useful and interesting experience to be closer to what the students think and want to know or how they interpret certain financial phenomena. It is also important to communicate with teachers, which ensures, motivates and stimulates the assimilation of basic knowledge among young students.
At the same time, in order to achieve a more efficient professional inclusion of future specialists, the involvement of specialized institutions is also needed, considers the NBM Governor. In this sense, the NBM has concluded several partnership agreements with higher education institutions, which affirms a collaboration of several years.
The participants in the event had the opportunity to clarify certain issues related to the importance of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the National Bank of Moldova and the European Central Bank, as well as to find out how banking supervision is carried out in the Republic of Moldova and what it is based on. The session also addressed several issues related to the banking system capacity, strengthened in the reform process, to respond to current challenges, topics such as monetary policy decisions in support of the economy, rescheduling by banks were touched upon, the payment of loans to individuals and legal entities, etc.
