The National Bank of Moldova supports access to statistical data through specialized training
In particular, the National Bank held on Tuesday, in partnership with the Economic Press Club, a training seminar on official statistics compiled and disseminated by the NBM. The purpose of the training was to provide a better understanding of the methodology, importance and accessibility of statistical data presented on the NBM website, which would facilitate their correct use by media representatives. The seminar was opened by the Vice-President of the National Bank, Petru Rotaru, who emphasized the institution’s commitment to ensuring transparency and facilitating access to clear information. “Transparency and accessibility of data are of great importance for the National Bank of Moldova. Through this seminar, we aim to strengthen the understanding and correct interpretation of official statistics, so that economic information is used correctly and responsibly,” said the Vice-President of the NBM. The participants benefited from presentations by experts from the Reporting and Statistics Department of the NBM, who touched upon topics related to the official statistics issued by the institution, including financial accounts (new experimental statistics), balance of payments and external debt. The importance of aligning these data with EU requirements was also emphasized, given Moldova’s path to the EU. During the interactive Q&A session, participants had the opportunity to clarify specific issues related to the collection and interpretation of statistical data, emphasizing the importance of cooperation between the NBM and the media for a proper understanding of information in the banking sector. // 21.01.2025 — InfoMarket.
