Government approved establishment of Joint Stock Company "Moldova International Stock Exchange"

The establishment of the Joint Stock Company "Moldova International Stock Exchange" was approved by the government. The stock exchange represents a strategic institution aimed at developing the capital market and strengthening the country's financial stability. It will have an initial social capital of 30 million lei, and the state, through the Public Property Agency will hold 20% of shares.

The new stock exchange will enable companies to access alternative sources of financing through share and bond issues, enhance market transparency, and strengthen the confidence of local and international investors. The initiative will contribute to diversifying financing instruments for the economy and reduce dependency on bank lending.

Through this decision, the Government ensures the development of the financial market infrastructure and the alignment of the Republic of Moldova with European standards in the field of capital market regulation and supervision.

Currently, Moldova's stock market capitalization represents 3-7% of the Gross Domestic Product, compared to 10-30% in Eastern Europe and over 65% in the European Union. The new institution will help reduce this gap, with an estimated attraction of up to 300 million euros in investments over the next decade.
