Bank Financial Performance Report for Q4 2025
There is a paradoxical situation in the municipal council. Since December 3, attempts have been made to hold a meeting, but it cannot not only take place, but even close due to the lack of quorum. Therefore, the meeting is constantly postponed. Even more paradoxical is the fact that about a month has passed since the last, ninth attempt to approve the municipality’s budget for 2025. But neither it, nor the budget for the next year 2026 is discussed in the council today.
The National Bank publishes the annual report “On Financial Stability”. The experts confirmed the resilience of the Moldovan financial system and its ability to support the real economy, while pointing out the systemic vulnerability to external threats, among which geopolitics and macroeconomics play a major role.
A threefold increase in any indicator in the banking market can hardly be considered an ordinary event.

Large-scale tax reforms in Moldova are planned for 2027 to ensure that they are properly prepared, consulted with the business community, and are stable and predictable for entrepreneurs. For 2026, the Ministry of Finance intends to promote less complex and precise, but positively affecting business adjustments. And in the short term – to extend and make permanent the mechanism for deferring income tax payment until dividends are withdrawn, at least for certain categories of business entities.
In the new episode of the National Bank of Moldova’s “The Meaning of Money” podcast, the NBM Governor Anca Dragu and International Finance Corporation representative Galina Cicanci discuss why the ability to save is becoming the foundation of personal independence, how financial discipline is formed, and what role women and digitalization play in this process.
Despite the fact that the country’s cryptocurrency legislation is under regulation, blockchain-based financial transactions are making their way into Moldovan life and practice in various ways.
This year’s fall has been fruitful for forecasts of the country’s economic development. Updates followed from both international partners – IMF, WB – and local experts. All of them show cautious optimism about overcoming stagnation. However, they are unanimous that sufficient recovery growth should not be expected.
The Executive Committee of the National Bank of Moldova at its meeting on November 6 unanimously decided to keep the prime rate at the current level, reducing the mandatory reserve requirements for banks
