The National Bank of Moldova (NBM) organized a training workshop on monetary policy today, addressed to journalists and students from the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences at the State University of Moldova. The event aimed to contribute to a better understanding of monetary policy and its impact on the economy, thereby facilitating clearer and more accurate communication of financial information to the public.
The workshop was opened by the Deputy Governor of the NBM, Mihnea Constantinescu, who emphasized the importance of transparency in monetary policy and the role of the media in conveying economic information to the public.
"Transparency allows the public to understand the monetary policy of the National Bank of Moldova. The better the public understands this policy, the more credible and effective it becomes. At the same time, transparency implies a clear explanation of the National Bank's objectives and decisions," stated the NBM Deputy Governor.
During the workshop, the Deputy Governor of the NBM provided essential information on the decision-making process in monetary policy, the mechanisms influencing the economy and the criteria that the central bank analyzes before making a decision. Participants also had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the interpretation of macroeconomic indicators and the impact of the NBM's decisions on the financial market.
The workshop included an interactive Q&A session, during which journalists and students explored in depth concepts such as inflation, financial stability, and the instruments used by the NBM to maintain economic stability.
The National Bank of Moldova maintains an ongoing dialogue with media representatives in order to improve the understanding of economic and financial phenomena. This year, the NBM has already held a workshop dedicated to statistics, thus strengthening the partnership between the central bank and the media in support of accurate and transparent information.
