The Republic of Moldova has a well-supervised banking sector, and its connection to European payment systems contributes to strengthening investor confidence. This is stated by the Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, Anca Dragu, who specifies that approximately 95% of the assets of the banking sector are managed by banks with European shareholding, reports IPN.
“The message to investors is clear: the Republic of Moldova has a well-supervised banking sector that is increasingly connected to Europe. It is a system that is robust in terms of capitalization, liquid, and capable of supporting lending. Membership in SEPA demonstrates that we are aligned with European standards regarding anti-money laundering, as well as payment systems and banking supervision”, stated Anca Dragu in a new episode of the “Sensul banilor” podcast.
According to NBM, the dialogue also highlighted the benefits associated with the European path of the Republic of Moldova: the modernization of institutions, alignment with European standards, development of infrastructure and financial services, as well as access to a market of 450 million consumers.
The Director of the Investment Agency of the Republic of Moldova, Natalia Bejan, mentioned that access to a market where products can be sold at competitive prices forces companies in the Republic of Moldova to rethink what they offer and how they produce. According to her, access to such markets stimulates the development of local products and services and contributes to the increase of exports, the revenues brought into the country, and consequently, the wages.
In the context of the podcast, there was also a discussion about the role of financial education at an individual and national level, for understanding opportunities and making responsible decisions, so that investments bring real benefits.
