The National Bank of Moldova published a readout of Governor Anca Dragu’s meeting with France’s Ambassador to Moldova, Dominique Waag, and representatives of the French economic and financial mission, focused on the macroeconomic situation, bilateral cooperation and the strategic partnership with Banque de France in the context of Moldova’s European integration. During the discussions, Dragu referred to central bank measures to strengthen financial stability, pointing to inflation moving down towards the target and the economy returning to an upward trend. Priorities cited included strengthening institutional governance, modernising payments infrastructure and continuing structural reforms, with Moldova’s accession to the Single Euro Payments Area presented as a step that aligns the banking sector with international standards and supports faster, safer and more affordable transactions. The update also noted that the Banque de France partnership is being implemented through technical assistance projects under a memorandum of understanding signed earlier in the year.
