Citizens of Moldova will be able to directly buy and sell government securities and other financial instruments through a special online platform, which will be created by the Unified Central Securities Depository.
The National Bank announced this, noting that the Unified Central Securities Depository has initiated public consultations on the creation of an electronic platform for investors in financial instruments. This platform will allow online transactions with government securities as well as other financial instruments. The concept of the platform was developed within the framework of the USAID Financial Sector Transparency in Moldova (FSTA) project and is part of a series of measures supported by the FSTA for the development of the financial market in our country. The platform will facilitate the direct sale of government securities to a wide range of individual, private investors, who will be able to buy and sell financial instruments at low prices and in a secure environment. The document describes the scope and use of the platform, the expected functions, responsibilities and roles of the parties involved, as well as the prospects for the development of this segment of the financial market. The concept is intended for state authorities, banks, brokers and potential investors. Interested parties can send their proposals and comments on the concept to the Unified Central Securities Depository until March 22. Recall that the Single Central Securities Depository was created by the National Bank of Moldova within the framework of the International Monetary Fund program with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and is one of the key reforms of the financial market in Moldova. // 10.03.2021 — InfoMarket.
