The National Bank of Moldova announced that Chisinau hosted the 38th annual conference of the Banking Supervisors from Central and South-Eastern Europe group, bringing together deputy governors, department heads and experts from the central banks of its 24 member states, alongside senior officials from European and international financial institutions. Discussions focused on aligning supervisory standards, managing emerging risks, digitalising the financial sector and maintaining resilience to current geopolitical pressures. The meeting concluded with common action priorities for the next period centred on digitalising supervisory processes through SupTech and adapting the regulatory framework to new global market conditions. A key strand of the conference examined how central banks can use advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to process large volumes of data in real time and identify risks earlier, alongside the need to regulate commercial banks' use of algorithms in automated lending. Members also addressed stronger anti-money laundering mechanisms and stricter monitoring of compliance with international sanctions, and agreed to intensify cross-border financial information sharing. The agenda also covered BSCEE governance, including development priorities for the network and proposed changes to the group's organisational rules to strengthen confidentiality and secure the exchange of supervisory information. Moldova has held the BSCEE presidency since 16 December 2025 under National Bank of Moldova deputy governor Constantin Șchendra.
