The leadership of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) took part in the conference “Reserve Management in an Unstable Global Environment”
In particular, Governor and Vice Governor of the NBM, Anca Dragu and Tatiana Ivanicichina, took part in this conference, organized in Washington by OMFIF, the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum. According to the National Bank, the event was attended by central bank governors, representatives of international organizations, and financial market participants. The dialogue focused on issues related to reserve management by monetary and financial institutions in complex macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. Participants discussed the transformation in the field of reserve asset management, the balance between profitability and security, as well as new challenges caused by geopolitical tensions, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. The discussions highlighted the importance of partnerships and experience sharing among member organizations of the Reserve Advisory and Management Partnership (RAMP), a program launched by the World Bank in 2001. RAMP is one of the largest global platforms for central bank cooperation, also bringing together international financial institutions, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds. RAMP members currently manage more than $2 trillion in sovereign assets. The program promotes institutional capacity building through professional training, specialized consulting, and international reserve portfolio management. The conference also discussed issues related to reserve diversification, including the role of gold as a strategic security instrument and the use of artificial intelligence for risk analysis and management. It was noted that the sustainability of reserve portfolios increasingly depends on international cooperation, institutional adaptability, and an understanding of the global geopolitical situation. The conclusions of the conference, the results of the OMFIF Global Public Investor 2025 (GPI 2025) study, and information obtained during a series of bilateral meetings with major central banks will form the basis of a research report to be published in November. // 20.10.2025 — InfoMarket
