The Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, Anca Dragu, discussed with officials of the European Investment Bank the macroeconomic prospects of the Republic of Moldova in the context of the negotiations for accession to the European Union and the implementation of the Economic Growth Plan based on the recently announced financial support of EUR 1.8 billion.
During the high-level meeting with the General Director of the European Investment Bank (EIB), Andrew McDowell, and Lionel Rapaille, Director of the Credit Operations Department for the EU Neighborhood Countries, the focus was on the implementation of the IMF Program and the Financial Sector Assessment Mission of the Republic of Moldova (FSAP) to take place next year.
Governor Anca Dragu emphasized that the objectives of the NBM focus on the need to increase access to finance for businesses, while strengthening the stability of the financial sector.
"These issues are crucial for increasing the quality of life, especially in the context of Moldova's EU accession. We are devoting our resources and efforts to ensure a sound and accessible financial framework for citizens and the business environment," said the Governor.
The discussions took place on the margin of the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings, an important forum for dialog and exchange of experiences among international financial sector leaders addressing current global challenges and opportunities.
