New subscription round for government securities in Moldova; investment options for citizens

Citizens can invest in government securities as part of a new subscription round launched today by the Ministry of Finance, available on the www.eVMS.md  platform.

Thus, individuals can invest in government bonds with maturities of three years, with an annual interest rate of 7.15 per cent, and four years, with an annual interest rate of 7.30 per cent. Subscriptions are open till November 12.

The interest is fixed and paid semi-annually, directly into the investor's bank account.

Starting from April 2025, the Finance Ministry has set a monthly frequency for VMS (state movable securities) issuances, providing the public with constant access to secure savings and investment instruments. The interest is fixed, tax-free, and payments are made semi-annually, directly into the investors' bank accounts.

Statistics data shows that, in the last year, citizens of Moldova have invested about 648 million lei in government bonds, within seven issuances conducted by the  Finance Ministry on the www.eVMS.md platform.

The www.eVMS.md platform was launched last summer. Government Securities are one of the safest investment instruments due to the full guarantee provided by the state. Through VMS, the state borrows from citizens to finance projects on development and economic growth of the country. VMS includes treasury bills and government bonds.
