According to the Speaker, radical measures should be taken in relation to the financial-banking sector. The package of laws that ensures transparency in bank ownership and improves the quality of bank management will be soon finalized. Such a small country as Moldova has too many banks – 15.

There will also be adopted new Regulations of Parliament as the current ones are outdated.
