A new law on investment funds is being prepared for approval in Moldova
The Administrative Council of the National Commission for the Financial Market (NCFM) approved the draft law and submitted it to the Ministry of Finance for further consideration by the government and parliament. The bill aims to modernize regulation of the collective investment market and align it with EU standards. According to the NCFM, the document provides for the creation of a unified legal framework for the establishment, licensing, operation, and supervision of investment funds and management companies. The bill also introduces modern investor protection mechanisms, requirements for information transparency, risk management, and investor funds management, regulates the activities of depositories, and the distribution of investment funds on foreign markets. At the same time, oversight and sanctioning mechanisms in the financial sector will be strengthened. The NCFM notes that the adoption of the law will help develop the investment fund market in Moldova, increase investor confidence and protection, and prepare the national financial sector for integration into the EU internal market. It should be noted that the Law on Investment Funds was in force in Moldova since 1997, but was repealed in 2013, after the entry into force of the Law on the Capital Market.// 02.06.2026 – InfoMarket.
