Ms. Maria Luís Albuquerque, EU Commissioner for Financial Services and the Savings and Investments Union, will deliver a special address. The Commissioner will speak about the European perspective on the role of financial markets in supporting economic growth and the process of Moldova's integration into the European Union.
The goal of the event is to establish a platform for strategic dialogue on financial and economic priorities in Moldova's irreversible path towards European Union accession.
Key topics include aligning the financial sector with European standards and strengthening the prudential supervisory framework, modernizing agriculture and rural finance through innovative instruments, energy security and sustainable investments focused on the green transition, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises by increasing competitiveness and stimulating innovation, as well as capital market integration and the digital transformation of the economy, aimed to accelerate Moldova's connection to the European single market.
“The Republic of Moldova’s European integration is a process full of opportunities. Through internation cooperation and open dialogue, we can accelerate reforms that bring stability, transparency and sustainable growth. The financial system plays a key role in this process, which can turn the ambition of integration into a reality that benefits citizens and the business environment. The National Bank of Moldova confirms its commitment to promoting dialogue with European and international partners, contributing to the modernization and financial convergence of the Republic of Moldova with the European Union”, emphasizes NBM Governor Anca Dragu.
In the process of European Union accession, the National Bank of Moldova plays a central role in implementing reforms related to financial services, the free movement of capital, and monetary policy. Across these fields, the NBM contributes to harmonizing the legislative and prudential framework with European standards, strengthening institutional independence and stability, and creating a secure and transparent environment for the movement of capital and investments. At the same time, the NBM promotes digitalization, innovation and modernization of the payment infrastructure, including through Moldova's accession to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), thus strengthening the gradual integration of the national economy into the European financial area.
