Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” has released a video on the success models and lessons learned from the first municipal bond issues in the Republic of Moldova. The material was produced under a project on local government bonds, implemented in 2020-2022 with Dutch financial support.

The video was made within the project “Local Government Bonds – as a Measure to Increase Local Autonomy”, funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Moldova. The project aimed to help local public authorities use this financial instrument to carry out local development projects.

During the project, several localities received assistance and training on issuing municipal bonds. The city councils of Ceadîr-Lunga, Sîngera and Chișinău launched and completed municipal bond issues through the financial intermediaries Victoriabank and maib, with the aim of using the funds raised for infrastructure projects.
