Chapter III Open market operations and relating procedures Section 1. General provisions 8. Depending on the objectives, regularity and procedures, open market operations of the National Bank of Moldova are divided into the following categories:

1. main operations – regular refinancing operations or, where appropriate, liquidity-absorbing operations, which play a pivotal role in achieving open market operations objectives of the National Bank, conducted weekly, based on standard tenders and with a maturity usually of one or two weeks. All eligible participants may submit bids to tender for the main operations. In order to send monetary policy signals to the market, National Bank apply the base rate to these operations;
2. fine-tuning operations – executed on an ad-hoc basis with the aim of managing the liquidity situation in the market and steering interest rates, in particular in order to smooth the effects on interest rates caused by unexpected liquidity fluctuations in the market. Fine-tuning operations may be conducted on the last days of a required reserve application period to counter liquidity imbalances, accumulated since the liquidity-provision/absorption of the last main operation. Fine-tuning operations may take the form of liquidity-providing or liquidity-absorbing operations, their frequency and maturity is not standardized. Fine-tuning operations are normally executed through quick tenders or bilateral procedures;
3. structural operations – operations conducted with all eligible participants through standard tenders and bilateral procedures, when it is necessary to adjust the structural position of the National Bank vis-à-vis the financial sector (regularly or occasionally). The frequency of these operations may be regular or irregular, and their maturity standardized or non-standardized. In structural operations, the National Bank may carry out longer-term refinancing operations. Generally, the National Bank does not use these operations to transmit signals to market and therefore accepts the rates proposed. Longer-term refinancing operations are usually executed in the form of variable rate tender. Periodically, the National Bank may indicate the refinancing volume to be allotted in the forthcoming tenders. In exceptional circumstances, the National Bank may also execute longer-term refinancing operations through fixed rate tenders.
