The Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM), Ms. Anca Dragu, met today with the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Republic of Moldova, H.E. Mr. Hubert Knirsch.
During the discussion, they addressed topics related to the macroeconomic situation in the Republic of Moldova and the monetary policy measures taken by the central bank to maintain financial stability. Ms. Anca Dragu emphasized that the decisions adopted by the National Bank have contributed to a gradual reduction in inflation, confirming the anticipated downward trend.
“We are closely monitoring inflationary processes and are prepared to intervene with the necessary measures to ensure price stability and stimulate economic growth. This balance is achieved through consistent implementation of structural reforms, strengthening governance in the financial sector, and prudent and responsible management of monetary policy. This approach ensures our ability to respond effectively to challenges and encourage sustainable economic development,” noted the NBM Governor.
In this context, the governor of the central bank underlined that balanced and inclusive economic growth is only possible within a resilient, well-capitalized and well-governed financial system. Ms. Anca Dragu highlighted Moldova's firm path towards the European Union and mentioned that the institution is at the forefront of reforms, with specific responsibilities in implementing the Reform Agenda in the context of European integration.
Officials also discussed the key role of the NBM in modernizing the country's financial infrastructure, stressing the MIA Instant Payments system, which has become a benchmark in the digitization of financial services and represents a significant achievement in this area. The progress made by Moldova's accession to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) was also recognized, as it has strengthened the country's integration into the European payments and financial services market.
The partnership between the Republic of Moldova and Germany in the financial and banking sector remains a priority for the NBM, contributing to Moldova's financial stability and sustainable economic development.
