The EBRD is currently implementing 76 projects in Moldova with a total value of €1.33 billion, and has invested more than €3 billion in 199 projects in our country as a whole
This was discussed during a meeting between Anca Dragu, Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM), and Matteo Patrone, Vice President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, who is visiting Chisinau. The meeting was also attended by the Head of the EBRD representative office in Moldova, Giuseppe Grimaldi, and Associate Director Nadejda Litvac. According to the NBM, the discussions focused on the development of the financial sector, the development of the capital market, progress in the process of European integration, as well as cooperation between the NBM and the EBRD in support of the country's economic development. The head of the NBM emphasized that Moldova's banking sector remains stable, well capitalized, and has sufficient liquidity. At the same time, efforts to harmonize the regulatory framework with European standards continue. In this context, the NBM is moving forward with the assessment procedure conducted jointly with the European Banking Authority (EBA) with the aim of obtaining recognition of the equivalence of Moldova's prudential system to that of the European Union. Anca Dragu noted that EBRD support is important for the development of the financial sector and for strengthening Moldova's European path. According to her, the stability of the banking system, confirmed, among other things, by the assessments of international rating agencies, contributes to increasing investor confidence. Recent events show that this confidence is reflected in a significant increase in investment, facilitated by the performance of the banking sector and reforms through which we are harmonizing the financial system with EU standards. “In this context, cooperation with the EBRD contributes to strengthening a modern and predictable investment environment for Moldova,” emphasized the NBM Governor. During the meeting, the EBRD's support for the development of the financial market and the strengthening of the NBM's institutional capacity was discussed. Among the projects supported is an initiative to assess and publish the yield curve of government securities, launched on the NBM website at the end of 2025, which contributes to the transparency and efficiency of the financial market. At the same time, officials discussed the technical assistance provided under the Reform Support Teams program, which helps Moldova in the process of harmonizing its national legislative framework with European standards. The parties also highlighted opportunities for cooperation in the context of Moldova's Growth Plan, as well as the continuation of reforms aimed at bringing the national financial system closer to EU standards. The EBRD is one of Moldova's main development partners. To date, the bank has financed 199 projects in the country with a total investment of over €3 billion. The EBRD's current portfolio in Moldova includes 76 ongoing projects with a total value of around €1.33 billion, which contribute to infrastructure development, energy security, and private sector support, confirming the institution's role as a strategic partner in Moldova's economic development. // 06.03.2026 — InfoMarket
