Expert-Grup Launches an Information Platform on Municipal Bonds

Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” has launched an information platform dedicated to municipal bonds, developed with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Republic of Moldova. It is aimed mainly at local authorities seeking to finance infrastructure on the capital market, as well as investors and journalists.
Since 2021, seven Moldovan municipalities have raised MDL 112 million through nine municipal bond issues, all fully subscribed; the first two have been repaid on schedule. MDL 104.5 million remains outstanding. The platform gathers this scattered experience in one interactive tool, available in Romanian, English and Russian.
It has five components: a market overview of all issues; money-market benchmarks and analysis based on National Bank of Moldova data; a simulator comparing a bank loan with a bond issue; an interactive step-by-step guide, structured in four phases and nine stages, including the legal debt-payment ceiling of 20% of revenue; and a section for investors with materials. Market data are current as of 8 October 2026. The platform is informational only and is not investment advice. Municipalities can contact the team at info@expert-grup.org.
