The National Bank of Moldova is directly linked to each citizen through money and it is responsible for providing them with the necessary knowledge and information on how to use it - Anca Dragu
This opinion was expressed by the Governor of the National Bank of Moldova within the new edition of the regular “Give Sense to Money” podcast, prepared at the initiative of the NBM with the support of the USAID program “Moldova Institutional and Structural Reforms Activity”. The NBM Governor said that the National Bank's main task is to ensure price stability. The NBM is also responsible for the supervision and regulation of the banking, financial-banking and insurance sectors, as well as for financial stability. “In everyone's pocket there is a banknote, a piece of paper on which the National Bank of Moldova is written. This is what binds us to every citizen. A person goes to the market with this banknote in his hand, and when he wants to pay, he looks at it and sees that it says – the National Bank of Moldova. Who is this? Why was I given this paper? What is its value? Thus, we are directly connected to the citizen. We have to be sure that while we give him/her this piece of paper we are responsible for making sure that he/she knows the concepts and the necessary information: how to use this paper on which is written the National Bank of Moldova. This is how I see the responsibility of the central bank,” Anca Dragu said. According to her, the NBM should not isolate itself and say that it is in charge of supervision and monetary policy. “Yes, we do that, but why? So that the whole society feels an atmosphere of trust, so that we create a favorable investment environment, a favorable environment for savings. So that this whole financial mechanism works in favor of the individual. Ultimately, we want to achieve a higher standard of living. But this is where we get into unexpected paths, and this is what the National Bank does - it untangles these unexpected paths. That is how I see the role of the National Bank. And we have wonderful partners - USAID and Expert-Grup,” emphasized the NBM Governor. //30.12.2024 - InfoMarket.
