The National Bank of Moldova has expanded cooperation with the Bank of France, which brings tangible results in strategic areas – NBM
This was stated by the President of the National Bank of Moldova Anca Dragu at a meeting with the Ambassador of France to our country Dominique Waag. According to the NBM, the discussions concerned the macroeconomic situation, bilateral cooperation and the active role of the central bank in Moldova's European integration. Anca Dragu emphasized the positive impact of harmonizing the legislative framework with EU standards. "The reforms carried out in this process contributed to the consolidation of the regulatory framework and the improvement of the assessment and supervision mechanisms in the financial sector," Anca Dragu said. The head of the National Bank recalled the recent inclusion of Moldova in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), emphasizing that this success reflects the country's strong commitment to continuous progress along the path of European integration. The President of the NBM emphasized the increasingly active cooperation with the Bank of France. According to her, the memorandum of understanding between the two institutions, signed earlier this year, is already yielding tangible results in strategic areas, such as technical assistance provided by the NBM in cash management, digitalization of operational processes and modernization of the IT infrastructure. "Investing in the development of institutional capacity means strengthening the necessary skills to support the development of a sustainable and fully integrated economy in the European space," Anca Dragu emphasized. In this regard, she highly appreciated France's openness to expanding bilateral cooperation and its continuous support for Moldova's development. The meeting was also attended by representatives of the economic missions of the French embassies in Athens and Bucharest. Recently, an NBM delegation led by Anca Dragu paid an official visit to France to strengthen bilateral relations and expand cooperation in the context of Moldova's accession to the European Union. "On its European path, Moldova needs reliable partners, and France is a model of best practices," the NBM President concluded. // 02.04.2025 – InfoMarket.
