The National Bank of Moldova announced that Governor Anca Dragu is leading a Moldovan delegation to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings in Washington, D.C., with the authorities holding high-level discussions with the IMF on initiating a new three-year programme without a financing component. The authorities framed the choice of a non-financial instrument as reflecting an improved macroeconomic situation that no longer justifies emergency financing. The agenda includes meetings with IMF, World Bank and International Finance Corporation representatives, as well as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and other international financial organisations. Topics include Moldova’s macroeconomic outlook, implementation of the 2025 Financial Sector Assessment Program recommendations, strengthening the National Bank of Moldova’s independence, and the central bank’s role in European integration including delivery of the reform agenda under the 2025–2027 Moldova Growth Plan.
