The National Bank of Moldova hosted a World Bank technical assistance mission on 3–7 November 2025 to support an interinstitutional working group in finalising Moldova’s National Financial Inclusion Strategy 2030 and drafting the related implementation action plan. The strategy is intended to set long-term public policies and define the roles of participating institutions in expanding access to, improving the quality of, and increasing the use of financial services by individuals and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. Work on the strategy is supported through the World Bank Group-managed M-GROW trust fund and is being developed by a working group established under a 28 June 2024 memorandum of understanding signed by the National Bank of Moldova, the National Commission for Financial Market, four ministries and the Association of Banks of Moldova. The mission included nine workshops with representatives of the memorandum signatories, more than 20 other public and private entities and civil society, focusing on actions across four pillars: the use and quality of financial services, the payments ecosystem, consumer protection for financial services, and financial capability, with an emphasis on financially underserved segments.
