National Bank of Moldova launches video series on staff experience in the European Commission NEPT training programme

The National Bank of Moldova has published a series of videos marking Europe Day in which its employees describe their participation in the European Commission’s National Experts in Professional Training programme. In these staff accounts, the bank highlights practical exposure to how EU policies and institutional mechanisms are developed and coordinated, including experience in banking legislation, financial market risk monitoring, and anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing work. According to the bank, participation in NEPT has led to a better understanding of European economic policy coordination, stronger analytical and risk-related capabilities, deeper knowledge of asset governance and financial risks, and broader professional networks across the European Union. The experience also informed proposals for the bank’s institutional work, including aligning and harmonising statistical data and economic information, gradually adopting artificial intelligence tools, and introducing internal mobility and professional development mechanisms. NEPT is a European Commission professional training programme for public officials from European Union member states. Moldova became eligible to participate alongside EU member states after an administrative agreement signed in Brussels on 17 October 2024, allowing Moldovan public officials to work temporarily in European Commission departments.
