Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (BNM) Anca Dragu believes that the theft of a billion dollars from the banking system of the Republic of Moldova was a trauma for the entire economy of this state and argues that both the central bank in Chisinau and the Moldovan authorities must adopt measures to ensure that "such a moment will never be repeated."In an interview with AGERPRES, Anca Dragu voiced her concern about the low level of financial intermediation in the Republic of Moldova, pointing out that the amount of loans granted by the banking system in relation to the Gross Domestic Product is four times lower than the European Union average, namely 20-23% compared to 87-90% of the EU average.At the same time, the BNM official also spoke about the prospect of accession to the European Union, which should place the Republic of Moldova in the top preferences of foreign investors. She believes that investors who do not invest in Moldova now will regret it in five to ten years.In the view of the governor of the Central Bank of Moldova, the IT and energy sectors are the most attractive for companies interested in developing on the left bank of the Prut.According to Dragu, "it is important for the National Bank to achieve its main objective, which is to ensure price stability, that is inflation at a reasonable level, which ensures a reasonable cost of credit, because at an interest rate of 20-30%, as I said earlier, you cannot function. So the stability of these macro-economic variables, inflation, a predictable fiscal trajectory, these are the essential conditions for investments."
