Moldova Launches eVMS.md: Empowering Citizens with Direct Government Securities Access

A significant milestone in Moldova’s financial market was reached with the launch of the eVMS.md platform. This user-friendly portal eliminates intermediaries and fees, allowing all Moldovan citizens, including those abroad, to trade directly in government securities. To start investing, users must create an account on the platform, have a bank account with a Moldovan bank, and obtain an electronic signature issued in Moldova.

The launch event was attended by government officials, development partners, and representatives of national authorities, who emphasized the platform’s critical role in advancing Moldova’s capital market.

Prime Minister Dorin Recean commended the initiative, thanking the Ministry of Finance and USAID for their support. He noted it had been a joint effort to improve public services and expand investment opportunities, marking a key step in developing the capital market and introducing new financial tools to citizens.

Before the introduction of this platform, individuals and legal entities had to purchase securities through brokers provided by commercial banks. Petru Rotaru, former Minister of Finance and Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, emphasized the platform’s importance: “This initiative enables Moldovan citizens to directly invest in their country’s development. We expect the first issuance of state securities in September, with an anticipated volume of 1 billion leu (USD 59 Million). A dedicated call center will be available to help citizens navigate the platform and ensure smooth participation in this new investment opportunity.” 

Investments in Government Securities are state-guaranteed, offering minimal risk and predictable returns. The eVMS.md platform is designed to offer a secure, transparent, and convenient investment experience. It provides real-time access to current and historical rates.
