The non-cash foreign exchange market of the Republic of Moldova is characterized by the volume of foreign currency purchase/sale transactions, excluding those carried out by the National Bank of Moldova. The monitored market segments include, in particular, the interbank market (foreign currency purchase/sale transactions carried out between commercial banks) and the intrabank market (foreign currency purchase/sale transactions carried out between banks and their clients). Information on the non-cash foreign exchange market is calculated based on the Reports on foreign currency amounts purchased and sold by the bank against Moldovan lei, submitted to the National Bank of Moldova, in accordance with the Regulation on the setting of the official exchange rate of Moldovan leu against foreign currencies (approved by the Decision of the Council of Administration of the National Bank of Moldova No. 3 of January 15, 2009). Transactions are recorded on the transaction date. The euro equivalent is calculated using the monthly average exchange rates of the Moldovan leu against the euro and the respective foreign currency. Information on the non-cash foreign exchange market is published monthly, by the last day of the month following the reporting period. Method for calculating the volume of SWAP operations: it is a daily weighted average, based on the maturity of the SWAP operation (number of days). Example: a SWAP of EUR 10 million with a 15-day maturity in a month with 30 calendar days is reflected as EUR 5 million.
