During the third edition of the Women's Excellence Gala, held on March 18 in Bucharest, the Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, Anca Dragu, was honoured with the Award of Excellence for her fundamental contribution to the advancement of the financial and banking sector in the Republic of Moldova. The award was presented by Ramona Chiriac, Head of the European Commission Representation in Romania.
The event brought together leading figures from various fields to celebrate the achievements, leadership and impact of women in society.
In her speech, Anca Dragu emphasized the importance of women's involvement in the financial sector and highlighted the contribution of the NBM team to economic reforms and the Republic of Moldova’s integration into the European financial area: "This award is a recognition of the efforts of the National Bank of Moldova team, the tireless dedication of our specialists to strengthening financial stability and modernizing the banking system. The Republic of Moldova’s accession to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) is a historic step in this process, and women in the financial sector play a key role in this transformation."
At the Gala, alongside 25 other outstanding women, Anca Dragu was also recognized for promoting gender equality principles in leadership. The Governor further emphasized the effectiveness of highly diverse teams, noting that they deliver better, more innovative and more adaptable results to the demands of the modern economy than less diverse teams: "Diversity is not just a principle of fairness, but a key factor of performance. Mixed teams make better decisions, innovate and respond more effectively to economic challenges."
At the event organized by MediaUno Press Group, the Department for Sustainable Development, the National Institute of Statistics and the MediaUno Association, the commitment to supporting women in all fields of activity was reaffirmed.
