The National Bank of Moldova published its monthly data on foreign exchange market operations, describing its use of spot transactions and foreign exchange swaps for interventions and reporting activity on the interbank market. The figures show spot sales equivalent to EUR 33.0 million and swap purchases equivalent to EUR 9.64 million, with no forward operations. Spot transactions are described as direct purchases or sales of foreign currency against the Moldovan leu that affect the money supply, while swap operations are presented as reversible adjustment instruments that do not have a long-term impact on the money supply. Transactions are recorded on the trade date, with EUR-equivalent amounts calculated using monthly average exchange rates and currencies also recalculated into USD using monthly average rates; swap volumes are calculated as a daily weighted average based on maturity (for example, a EUR 10 million swap with a 15-day term in a 30-day month is reported as EUR 5 million). Non-cash foreign exchange market information is published monthly, no later than the last day of the month following the reporting period.
