Moldova's banking sector will be aligned with European and international requirements and practices to protect depositors' interests and ensure the stability and viability of the banking system - NBM

This is envisaged in the banking supervision priorities for 2026-2027 approved by the National Bank of Moldova, which reflect the NBM's medium-term banking supervision strategy for the next two years. These priorities are reviewed annually, taking into account changes in the risk profile of licensed banks, as well as the results of supervisory activities, in particular, the findings of the Supervision and Evaluation Process (SREP). Progress in implementing priorities established in previous periods is also taken into account. As noted by the NBM, in 2025, the National Bank of Moldova continued to advance important reforms in banking regulation and the harmonization of legislation with EU standards and Basel III requirements, contributing to the modernization of the banking system and advancing the process of European integration. In 2025, Moldova's banking sector demonstrated sustained stability, recording growth in assets, loans, equity, and deposits from individuals and businesses. Banks fully complied with prudential requirements, maintaining adequate key financial indicators and demonstrating strong capital adaptation and consolidation capacity. "A robust banking system is the foundation upon which a healthy and sustainable economy is built. Through strict and consistent supervision and ongoing alignment with European standards, we strengthen financial stability and protect citizens' savings. The National Bank remains firmly committed to modernizing the banking sector and creating a trusting environment for depositors, investors, and businesses, ensuring Moldova has the preconditions for a secure and predictable financial future," emphasized NBM President Anca Dragu. It is planned that in 2026-2027, the National Bank of Moldova will focus its supervisory efforts on identifying, assessing, and appropriately managing risks, through both off-site supervision and on-site inspections, to maintain a resilient and stable banking sector. Banking supervision priorities will include the following key areas: Corporate governance; Business model and strategy; Credit risk; Operational risk; Liquidity risk; Information and communications technology (ICT) risk; Analysis, assessment, and remediation of vulnerabilities related to payment and settlement systems and payment services; Prevention and combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Detailed information on banking supervision priorities is available on the NBM website. // 27.01.2026 — InfoMarket.
