The constituency discussions covered global economic trends, the region’s macroeconomic outlook, challenges linked to the international inflation environment, institutional governance and reforms to support sustainable and inclusive growth. Participants also addressed continued support for Ukraine and its economic recovery, the role of central banks in maintaining financial stability, modernising payment infrastructure and adapting economic policies to evolving regional and global conditions. The meeting included exchanges with IMF and World Bank executive directors on priorities for financial support programmes, strengthening resilience in emerging economies and promoting sustainable investment, in the context of Moldova’s membership since 2012 in the IMF constituency led by Belgium and the Netherlands.
