The Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, Anca Dragu, invited economic experts to a dialogue with the aim of finding solutions to revitalise financial intermediation in the Republic of Moldova. The informal meeting took place in a context where the current level of financial intermediation is considered extremely low in our country.
The meeting is a continuation of the dialogue with civil society initiated by the Governor of the NBM in January to address subjects aimed at boosting the economic development of the Republic of Moldova.
During the meeting, international expert Dumitru Vicol proposed strategies to stimulate financial intermediation, inspired by the success of regional models, and the representative of the Watchdog community, Sergiu Tofilat, shared concerns about the new energy challenges and their effects on inflation.
Anca Dragu stressed the importance of a joint effort between banks and companies to identify the most efficient ways to match credit supply and demand. “This is essential to stimulate the economy and ensure the country's financial stability”, said the NBM Governor.
Participants held a constructive dialogue on how to encourage entrepreneurship and ensure sustainable economic development in the Republic of Moldova. “It is vital to continue these discussions and work together in order to build a financial system that meets the needs of all economic actors”, concluded Anca Dragu.
The discussions were also attended by representatives of the monetary policy, financial stability, banking supervision, payment systems, financial markets, regulation and authorisation, applied and economic research departments of the National Bank of Moldova.
