The National Bank of Moldova published statistics on its activity in the interbank foreign exchange market, explaining its FX intervention instruments and reporting the latest spot and swap turnover. The data show spot FX sales of EUR 1.5 million and FX swap purchases in US dollars equivalent to EUR 7.4636 million, with no forward operations. Spot operations are described as direct purchases or sales of foreign currency against the Moldovan leu that affect the money supply, while FX swaps are reversible adjustment operations that do not have a long-term impact on the money supply. Transactions are recorded on the deal date; amounts are converted into EUR and USD using monthly average exchange rates, and swap volumes are calculated as a daily weighted average based on swap maturity (for example, a EUR 10 million 15-day swap in a 30-day month is reported as EUR 5 million). Non-cash FX market information is published monthly by the last day of the month following the reporting month.
