Chisinau, 25 Mach. /MOLDPRES/ - The parliament heard a report of the inquiry commission on the situation on the financial and banking market at a closed meeting on 24 March. The event lasted for more than eight hours and ended after 22 o’clock.

After the meeting, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party’s (PLDM) parliamentary faction, Vlad Filat, said the MPs took a decision on dismissal of Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Moldova (BNM) Emma Tabirta and the head of the National Financial Market Commission, Artur Gherman. At the same time, Filat added that ”the parliament set clear tasks for the state’s institutions, which are to undertake concrete actions in order to adjust the legislation and stabilise the situation in the financial and banking system”.

”A decision was taken to request that the government declassifies the decision on providing that guarantee for BNM to give a credit to the state Savings Bank (Banca de Economii), Banca Sociala (Social Bank) and Unibank,” Vlad Filat specified. He added that both the inquiry commission’s report and the decision passed by the parliament after hearing the report would be made public.

The leader of the Democratic Party’s (PDM) parliamentary faction, Marian Lupu, said the parliament decision included concrete actions, which were to be carried out at parliamentary and governmental levels, to ensure stability of the banking sector. ”The government was given a 30-day term to make a complex analysis of the liability of persons from the executive structures, who failed to fulfil their job duties or maybe chose to carry out actions counter the legislation,” Lupu said.

Communist MP Oleg Reidman said the decisions adopted at the parliament’s closed meeting ”are aimed at improving the situation in the financial and banking system and preventing similar situations in the long run."

The Socialist and Liberal lawmakers presented alternative reports on the situation on the financial and banking market.
