The National Bank of Moldova announced it will actively participate in implementing the Republic of Moldova’s National Programme for accession to the European Union for 2025–2029, approved by the Government. It said it will use its policy and regulatory tools to support the harmonisation of the financial and monetary framework with European norms and requirements as part of the national effort. The central bank described its role as directly involved in the EU accession negotiations and as lead institution for three negotiating chapters: free movement of capital, financial services, and economic and monetary policy. It also contributes to other chapters relevant to financial system stability and development, including statistics, financial control, information society and media, and social policies and employment, with work streams covering financial sector digitalisation, financial inclusion, economic sustainability and consumer protection. Moldova’s official accession negotiations began in June 2024 and are currently in the screening stage assessing the compatibility of national legislation with EU law. The National Bank of Moldova also referenced a set of explanatory videos launched on 9 May 2025 on the central bank’s role in the negotiations.
