Regulation on Mergers and Absorptions of Banks in the Republic of Moldova

The National Bank of Moldova issued this regulation to establish mandatory rules and procedures for commercial bank mergers, absorptions, and the sale of substantial asset shares. It requires prior written consent and formal permission from the central bank, while capping the successor institution’s dominant market position at 35 percent of total sector assets and individual deposits. The framework mandates systemic risk evaluations, standardized application timelines, and the transfer of licenses to ensure ongoing financial sector stability.
