The National Bank of Moldova (NBM) has launched the third edition of the "School of Modern Finance" programme, a project dedicated to training future economists of the Republic of Moldova that is realized in cooperation with the National Bank of Romania and ASE Bucharest. The programme is intended for students and master students of the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova (ASEM) and will run from 14 September to 22 September 2024, offering participants an opportunity to explore the financial field from a new perspective.

The project is implemented by the National Bank of Moldova, with the support of the National Bank of Romania (NBR). The active involvement of the NBR, together with ASE Bucharest, demonstrates the firm commitment to support the development of young economists from the Republic of Moldova, facilitating their access to modern knowledge and practices in the financial and banking field.

The 19 participants, selected on a competition basis, will have the opportunity to participate in professional discussions and lectures given by personalities from the Romanian financial and banking sector. The programme also includes a cultural-historical itinerary in cities such as Iasi, Brasov, Suceava and Sinaia, completing thus the learning experience.

Before their departure, the young people were encouraged by a video message of the Governor of the National Bank of Moldova: "You are here because of your ambition and your desire to learn, and this makes me very confident about the future of the Republic of Moldova: you are the specialists of tomorrow, you will continue to build a prosperous society based on stability and sustainable development".

Anca Dragu also encouraged the participants to make the most of every moment of this experience: "Our program offers you not only the chance to learn, but also the advantage of becoming ambassadors of financial education in the communities you come from. You are the ones who will bring change!", emphasized the NBM Governor.

The objective of the "School of Modern Finance" programme is to contribute to the development of a new generation of professionals, able to support the strengthening of the economic sector and promote financial inclusion.

At the end of the programme, the participants will receive certificates signed by the Governors of the NBM and the NBR, as well as the Rectors of ASE Bucharest and ASEM.
