Loans will become more expensive

Loans will become more expensive. The National Bank raised the monetary policy interest rate from 5% to 6.5% per annum

The National Bank of Moldova reported that this measure was taken to combat inflation, which reached 5.81% in March 2026. This measure was the result of rising prices for energy, food and raw materials amid instability in the Middle East and the strengthening of the dollar.

The Bank maintained mandatory reserve ratios at 18% in lei and 26% in foreign currency. At the same time, the National Bank noted that external risks remain significant.
