Moldovan depositors at Savings Bank to receive indexed amounts

Chisinau, 19 November /MOLDPRES/- Acting Prime Minister Gheorghe Brega today chaired a meeting of the National Committee for Financial Stability (CNSF) on the indexation and payment of indexed amounts to citizens with deposits at the Savings Bank, the government’s communication and media relations department has reported.

Acting Finance Minister Anatol Arapu said according to the provisions of the law No 1530-XV of 12 December 2002, the ministry earmarked 50 million lei in 2015 to pay indexed amounts to Moldovan citizens who had deposits at the Savings Bank on 2 January 1992.

During today’s meeting, CNSF members examined opportunities and methods to distribute and pay indexed amounts, given the fact that the Savings Bank had been liquidated, and beneficiaries’ deposit accounts had been transferred into other six commercial banks, in compliance with the liquidation procedures.

The acting prime minister asked state institutions in charge to hold a meeting with the representatives of the six commercial banks within at most ten days and agree on a clear mechanism to provide people with the money they are entitled to under the law.

According to government’s decision No 449 of 2 June 2010, the National Committee for Financial Stability must coordinate financial decisions and activities of public authorities. The committee has the right to convene meetings, at the proposal of its chairman or three of its members, anytime it is necessary, however, not less than twice a year.
