The document was adopted by the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) and came into force after its publication in the Official Journal of Moldova (Monitorul Oficial). At the same time, the previous NBM Regulation on the conduct of inspections and the application of sanctions to currency exchange institutions has been repealed. The new Regulation on Supervision of Currency Exchange Institutions adopted by the National Bank establishes the procedure for the organization and implementation by the National Bank of control procedures in relation to currency exchange institutions, as well as the criteria for the application of sanctions to currency exchange institutions. The purpose of supervising the activities of currency exchange institutions is to verify compliance with the provisions of the Law on Currency Regulation, the Law on the Prevention and Combating of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, as well as the provisions of regulatory acts issued in their application. The new Regulation on Supervision of Currency Exchange Institutions adopted by the NBM describes in detail the types of controls, the procedure for carrying out controls, the specific features of drawing up a statement of findings during an on-site inspection and a report on the results of the control, the application of sanctions for violations in the currency field, and the application of sanctions and corrective measures for violations in the field of prevention and combating money laundering and terrorist financing. // 12.08.2025 — InfoMarket
