Moldovan citizens drive record demand for state bonds as digital platform scales
Moldova’s Ministry of Finance has launched a new subscription round for Government Securities (GS), running from February 9 to February 18. This digital-first initiative allows retail investors to acquire sovereign debt directly through the state’s eVMS.md platform.
To participate, individuals must hold a valid electronic signature and complete the transaction via the dedicated portal. The government is offering fixed interest rates of 7.05% for two-year bonds and 7.15% for those with a three-year maturity.
Attractive yields and digital security
Interest payments are scheduled semi-annually, with funds transferred directly to the investor's linked bank account. This modern approach aims to provide a transparent and secure alternative to traditional savings.
The program has seen significant momentum. In the first round of 2026, held in January, the state attracted investments totaling approximately €7.75M (151.9 million MDL).
Surging retail interest in sovereign debt
Official reports indicate that January’s demand was nearly double the initial offering. This follows a robust performance in 2025, when citizens purchased state bonds worth over €26.78M (525 million MDL).
Data suggests that two-year bonds remain the preferred instrument for the majority of retail investors. Complete subscription details and terms are available on the official Ministry of Finance website.
