The European Parliament will constantly support Moldova in the implementation of the Growth Plan with a budget of 1.9 billion euros, as well as in overcoming the energy crisis
This was stated by Andrea Wexler, MEP and member of the European Parliament Delegation for EU-Moldova relations, at a meeting in Brussels with Anca Dragu, Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM). According to the National Bank, the discussions focused on Moldova's progress in the process of joining the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), which is a firm step in deepening the European integration. They also discussed the future of the Multiannual Financial Framework Programme, which pays special attention to the financial support within the Growth Plan, which will be put to vote in the European Parliament next week. The NBM Governor said that the National Bank is actively involved in the process of negotiating Moldova's accession to the European Union on a number of chapters. “Together with other institutions, we are actively working to speed up this irreversible EU accession process, which will bring more economic stability, better and safer life for Moldovan citizens,” Anca Dragu said. Andrea Wexler commended the NBM's role in the process of transformation and consolidation of the financial sector in Moldova. She also expressed strong support for Moldova in the current geopolitical context, as well as in overcoming the energy crisis, stressing that Moldova is not alone, it has reliable partners and its place is “in the European family”. The meeting took place on the sidelines of Anca Dragu's working visit to Brussels, in order to consolidate cooperation with the European institutions and promote Moldova's financial integration into the European Union. Thus, Moldovan citizens and businesses will have access to reliable and modern financial services, which will contribute to the economic development. Within 2 days, the head of the National Bank held talks with officials of the European Commission and a number of meetings with MEPs. // 06.03.2025 - InfoMarket
