The Executive Board of the National Bank of Moldova issued Decision No. 176 to partially transpose EU Regulation 575/2013 by approving a new Regulation on the Leverage Effect. This decision establishes the calculation methodology for the leverage ratio, defines total exposure measures, and specifies eligible exclusions for banks operating in Moldova. It simultaneously amends existing capital and disclosure regulations to incorporate the new leverage indicator and repeals the previous 2020 leverage decision, with the new rules entering into force on January 1, 2026.
