The IMF will continue to support the economic and financial reforms necessary for Moldova's modernization and rapprochement with the European Union
This was stated during a meeting between the Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM), Anca Dragu, and the Managing Director of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, on the sidelines of a high-level international conference organized by the IMF and the National Bank of Croatia in Dubrovnik. According to the NBM, the discussions focused on continued cooperation between Moldova and the IMF to support the economic and financial reforms needed to modernize the country and bring it closer to the EU. The NBM Governor expressed her gratitude to the IMF for supporting the process of transforming Moldova's economy into a more competitive and sustainable one. "The reforms we are implementing with IMF support are helping us build a more competitive, more sustainable, and better prepared economy for integration into the European Union. This is a process that is directly aimed at improving the quality of life of citizens," said Anca Dragu. The meeting also highlighted the importance of the FSAP (Financial Sector Assessment Program) recently conducted by the IMF and the World Bank, which supports the consolidation of the banking system and brings Moldova into line with the highest international standards. The NBM Governor noted that all these achievements contribute to the implementation of measures under the National Program for Accession to the European Union and provide a solid foundation for accelerating the integration process. The focus was on the benefits of reforms for citizens: from financial stability and protection to empowerment and improved quality of life. Anca Dragu is in Dubrovnik on May 29-30, where she is participating in a high-level international conference organized by the IMF and the National Bank of Croatia. The event brings together economic and financial leaders from Central and Southeast Europe, providing an important platform for dialogue on strategic reforms, economic sustainability, and European integration in a constantly changing global context. // 30.05.2025 — InfoMarket
