It is not clear what position Danilets will hold at the National Bank of the Republic of Moldova (BNM) – head of the legal department of BNM or adviser to the chairman on legal issues, but people close to the bank confirm his arrival at the bank. BNM.

It will be recalled that Anka Dragu was appointed the head of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) on December 22 after the draft decision, for which the parliament voted by 58 votes. The press writes that Dragu would have achieved the position of head of the NBM, recommended by the Dacian Cioloş – Maia Sandu network.

8-9 years ago, there was another offer to a Romanian from the board of the NBR to become the head of the Bank of Moldova, but he rejected the offer because of the corruption that existed at the time in the NBM and the pro-Russian orientation of the country.

Banking market experts told HotNews that Anca Dragu is taking a big risk: if she fails to “clean up” the National Bank of Romania and “Europeanize” it, she faces collapse. If by some miracle she succeeds, the credit will go to the team, not to her personally.

According to our information, the NBM will hire people from outside the NBM (more precisely, Romanians) for key positions on the recommendation of international financial organizations. “We are trying to bring in people with European views and turn the institution into a truly independent central bank similar to those in the EU,” BNM HR sources said.

In addition, just as previous NBM managers were supported by the NBR, this will also happen now that the National Bank of Romania will provide resources to help the transition process to a European NBM.

Dragu received the citizenship of the Republic of Moldova on the day of the recall of the former governor Octavian Armașu

Anka Dragu received the citizenship of the Republic of Moldova on December 21, the day when former governor Octavian Armaşu was recalled from this position, local media reported.

The head of the Republic of Moldova’s central bank, Octavian Armașu, was dismissed by parliament on Thursday for failing to act after a massive fraud in 2014-2015 in which a billion dollars disappeared from the country’s banking system.

The initiative to dismiss the governor was supported by 81 out of 101 parliament members. Members of the Socialist Party, a pro-Russian opposition party, joined President Maia Sandu’s pro-European Action and Solidarity party to secure a two-thirds majority, News.ro said.

Armash’s release took place on the same day as a plenary session of parliament held a hearing on the return of money stolen in a bank fraud. Shortly after the hearing, PAS asked Octavian Armasha to resign.

Armasu was released after two years of discussions and unsuccessful attempts to recover some of the money that was stolen from the banking system and taken out of Moldova. The amount was 12% of Moldova’s gross domestic product at that time.
