The National Bank of Moldova is promoting reforms that accelerate the country's integration into the European financial area and transform approaches to payment infrastructure. Discussions are centered on further regulatory harmonization, the development of modern payment services, and cooperation with European partners—details of which could prove significant for the banking sector and the market as a whole.
After one year of operating within the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), Moldova has seen a noticeable impact on citizens and businesses: transfers in euros have become faster and significantly cheaper, and SEPA has quickly become the primary channel for cross-border payments. The National Bank notes that the new payment infrastructure has already altered established financial flows and strengthened the country's integration with the European market.
