Discussions primarily centred on the achievements of the Twinning project “Strengthening supervision, corporate governance and risk management in the financial sector”, which has recently concluded, and the prospects for continued bilateral cooperation as Moldova progresses towards European Union membership.
During the meeting, Anca Dragu expressed gratitude for the support provided by Lithuanian colleagues in implementing the aforementioned project, which has promoted reforms in the financial and banking sectors, thus advancing the implementation of the Moldova-EU Association Agreement and Agenda.
Anca Dragu added that she wanted to develop the local financial market and appreciated the experience of the Bank of Lithuania in this regard.
Furthermore, the Governor reiterated her expectations for improved financial intermediation in the Republic of Moldova aiming to provide more benefits for businesses and citizens.
