Moldova's National Commission for Financial Markets published an update on a memorandum signed during Moldova Business Week to establish a modern stock exchange in the Republic of Moldova, based on a partnership between the Government of Moldova and the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). The initiative is framed as a step to develop the capital market, attract investment and connect Moldova to European markets. The project is described as a public-private alliance with estimated investments of EUR 3 million, supported by a shareholder consortium including Moldova Agroindbank, Moldindconbank, OTP Bank, Moldcell, Vienna Insurance Group/Donaris and MK Kredit. The planned exchange is intended to help companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, access financing and to give citizens a broader set of investment opportunities, supported by BVB technology designed to enable secure, fast and transparent trading.
