Banker Day is observed in Moldova every June 4, celebrating the professional contributions of bankers. This date marks the anniversary of the establishment of the National Bank of Moldova in 1991, which laid the foundation for the national banking system. The National Bank plays a crucial role in ensuring price stability and developing a market-based financial system in the country. On this day, bank employees receive congratulations from authorities, colleagues, and clients, and deserving bankers may be honored with prizes and awards. The celebration highlights the importance of the banking sector, which consists of about 15 commercial banks, with over 50% of assets held by the four largest banks that were previously state-owned before privatization in the mid-1990s.
