The number of the loans offered by the banks to the economic agents continues to raise. Vladimir Munteanu, the prime vice governor of National Bank of Moldova announced that between April and June all the loans taken are worth five billion lei, due to the decrease of the interest rate.

Munteanu also said that the inflation also decreases and will reach 2% by the end of the year. The law prices are benefic for the citizens, but affects the business environment.

At the beginning of the next year, the inflation will reach 6,5% yearly.

The official of BNM also said that the GDP continues to raise in the second half of this year, due to the development of the trade, industry, the communication and information fields. For the next period, the central bank says that the petrol prices will be between 70 and 80 USD for a barrel and the dollar will raise.

"The international prices of the petrol raised by 15,1% in the second half of the year. If there had not been a considerable appreciation of the Moldovan leu against the US dollar, which is the currency of quoting oil at international exchanges, probably today we would have had oil prices and much higher energy resources", said Vladimir Muntean, prime vice governor at BNM.

"Altogether, this survey shows that we won't have a great inflation in the following eight trimesters. Rather, it is an European or American level below two percent, which is a good indicator of macroeconomic and macro-financial stability", said Roman Chirca, economy expert.

Also, in the second half of the year, the volume of the money transfer from other countries raised. Thus, in April-June over 342 million USD were sent to our country, which is 14% more than in the same period of the last year.

The data also shows that almost 40% came from EU, followed by CSI - 29%. The biggest amounts have been sent from Russia, almost 97 million USD, then Israel 60 million USD, Italy 43 million USD and the USA 28 million USD.

Over 35% of the transfers were made in Ruble and over 32% in USD and Euro.
