The National Bank of Moldova has published a new explanatory video setting out how it supports Moldova’s European integration by strengthening a stable, safe financial system compatible with European Union standards. The video frames EU accession as an opportunity to harmonise national legislation with European standards and highlights the central bank’s participation in dialogue with European partners to build confidence in the stability and resilience of the banking system. The material also links this work to citizen-level outcomes, including stronger foreign investor confidence, job creation and easier access for European projects, and notes that alignment with international standards is intended to provide Moldovan citizens with protections equivalent to those elsewhere in Europe. Governor Anca Dragu is quoted describing the National Bank of Moldova as a catalyst for the accession process, referencing financial-sector reforms and work connected to Moldova’s entry into the Single Euro Payments Area. The video forms part of a series launched on 9 May 2025 to explain in simple terms what European financial integration means and how the central bank contributes to the process.
