Please get acquainted with the information on exercising the right to petition by submitting a petition and the right of access to information of public interest by submitting a request for disclosure of information of public interest to the National Bank of Moldova (hereinafter - NBM).


1. Request for disclosure of information of public interest

In order to submit a request for information of public interest, please use the following standard form.

The application shall contain the following mandatory elements:

  • the surname and forenames or name of the applicant;
  • the postal address of the applicant, as well as the e-mail address if a reply is requested by e-mail;
  • name of the information provider - National Bank of Moldova;
  • specification of the information of public interest requested, with sufficient and conclusive details to allow its identification by the NBM;
  • the applicant shall indicate the preferred way of communicating the information: in electronic form; by post on paper; examination in original at the premises of the information provider; oral presentation for oral requests.

The applicant shall not be obliged to provide reasons or justification for his request.

Handwritten or electronic signature of the request is not mandatory.

For requests submitted in electronic form it is not necessary to meet the legal requirements established for electronic documents.

The request shall be submitted to the information provider and may be:

  • submitted in electronic form,
  • submitted in writing or sent by post,
  • addressed verbally (directly or by telephone).

Upon receipt of the request, the NBM shall examine whether the request meets the requirements and if the request does not contain one of the mandatory elements listed above, the request shall not be examined. If the requested information is not specified in the request or if, from the content of the request, it is not possible to identify the requested information, the applicant shall be informed of the deficiency and given at least 5 working days to remove it. If the applicant does not remove the deficiencies within the time limit, the request shall not be examined of which the applicant shall be informed.

In case the applicant submits several requests to the NBM, the NBM may link them together and provide the applicant with a single response, which will refer to all the requests submitted.

Information of public interest shall be communicated to the applicant no later than 10 days from the date of registration of the request.

The deadline may be extended by up to 7 days if the request is complex or if a large amount of information is requested which requires additional time for processing. The extension shall take effect only if the applicant is informed thereof in writing, within the 10-day period and stating the reasons for the extension.

Oral requests shall be dealt with immediately, on the day of submission, if the requested information is available for immediate communication. In case the requested information is not available for immediate communication or is of limited accessibility, the applicant is directed to submit a request in electronic or written form, which shall be examined and resolved within the general deadlines.

The requests may be rejected in whole or in part, and the communication of information of public interest may also be refused in whole or in part, in accordance with the law.

Any person claiming the right of access to information of public interest may challenge in court any action or inaction of the NBM, as an information provider, which violates the provisions of Law No 148/2023. The challenge of the actions or inactions of information providers shall be carried out by filing an action in administrative proceedings, which shall be submitted and examined in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Code, without following the prior procedure.
