Governor of National Bank of Moldova in Washington says country strengthens partnerships bringing real benefits to economy, enterprises, citizens

Moldova is strengthening partnerships that bring real benefits to the economy, enterprises and citizens. Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (BNM) Anca Dragu has made statements to this effect at a meeting in Washington with Antonella Bassani, Vice President of the World Bank for Europe and Central Asia, and Alfonso Garcia Mora, Vice President of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) for Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.

The discussions focused on the economic and financial prospects of Moldova, the results of the Financial Sector Assessment Programme (FSAP), joint technical assistance projects and the country's progress in sustainable financing, digitization, and financial inclusion. At the same time, the sides addressed the Growth Plan of Moldova for 2025–2027, supported by the European Union, which will mobilize major investments in reforms, infrastructure and competitiveness.

Anca Dragu said that Moldova had made significant steps in strengthening financial stability and cutting inflation, which stays on a downward trajectory.

The governor also appreciated the World Bank's support in developing the National Financial Inclusion Strategy, which will play a key role in reducing economic inequalities and ensuring access to financial services for all Moldova’s citizens.

“Structural reforms and joint projects with the World Bank and IFC are important for developing a modern and transparent financial system. We are strengthening partnerships that bring real benefits to the economy, enterprises and citizens,” Anca Dragu noted.

The string of bilateral meetings of the BNM delegation is taking place at the annual meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, held in Washington on October 13-18, 2025.
