The Republic of Moldova will contribute €4 million to increase the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s capital. The government approved a document that enables this payment and adds the EBRD to a previous decision allocating funds for Moldova’s share in raising the authorized capital of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Finance Corporation, IPN reports.
The Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization states in a press release that Moldova will pay the €4 million in five annual installments. The state budget law already includes this year’s installment, and officials will allocate the remaining funds for 2026–2029 in the medium-term budget.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, founded in 1990 with 75 member countries, admitted Moldova in 1992. Authorities say Moldova’s participation in this capital increase is essential to maintain its current voting weight and strengthen its influence in these organizations.
