National Commission for Financial Markets maps Moldova capital market relaunch including a mid-2026 new stock exchange with Bucharest Stock Exchange

The National Commission for Financial Markets held a high-level meeting with European Commissioner Maria Luís Albuquerque to align priorities for strengthening Moldova’s financial market, with a focus on building a modern, secure and transparent system. The discussions centred on modernising and improving supervision of the capital market and insurance sector, increasing private investment, and creating a stable framework that expands saving and investment options for citizens. The Chair of the National Commission for Financial Markets, Dumitru Budianschi, pointed to European Union support for legislative harmonisation and referenced progress including approval of the National Strategy for Capital Market Development for 2025–2030. He also outlined plans to establish a new stock exchange in partnership with the Bucharest Stock Exchange, expected to become operational by mid-2026 and to run on the same system as Romania’s exchange. Both sides agreed to continue close dialogue on current challenges. The meeting took place in the context of an international conference hosted by the National Bank of Moldova on finance and economic growth in Moldova’s European integration process.
