Project purpose

Project purpose and indicators of achievement (as in Logframe)

State of achievement/ problems encountered

Project purpose:Development and maintenance of an appropriate and effective regulatory and supervisory framework in accordance with the EU legislation and best practices to enable prudential regulation and supervision on the non-banking financial market.Strengthening operational and institutional capacities of the NCFM accomplished.

Development and maintenance of an appropriate and effective regulatory and supervisory framework in accordance with the EU legislation and best practices to enable prudential regulation and supervision in the field of:

1. capital market and investment funds sector;

2. insurance companies sector;

3. savings and credit associations and pension funds sector.

Within the reporting quarter the achieving of project purposes has been initiated.

Review report with recommendations from the perspective of establishing risk-based supervision for insurance market was developed and provided to the NCFM.

Furthermore, in line with the project assumptions, the review of the NCFM’s capacity in the field of combating market abuse in the capital market (market manipulation and insider trading) and workshops for the NCFM and market participants were performed.The input provided by the MS experts shall contribute to establish a sound base to facilitate further efforts for development and maintenance of an appropriate and effective regulatory and supervisory framework in accordance with the EU legislation and best practices.

Thus, the NCFM capacities to regulate the non-banking financial market and strengthen its supervision functions in line with the EU acquis and best practices have started to increase .

Policy Developments

Speaking about the legal framework in which the Twinning project started to be implemented, we mention that in the period September – November 2015 the NCFM made significant efforts to promote in the Parliament the draft laws regulating the activity of insurance undertakings and pension funds. These draft laws will be examined by Polish experts during the future missions in order to provide their comments and amendments to the existing framework based on Polish experience in the field.

Having the scope of improving the insurance legislation and accomplishing the Action Plan elaborated by the Council of Bureaux from Brussels, the NCFM has promoted the draft law amending the Law on Insurance no. 407-XVI of 21.12.2006 and the draft law amending the Law on compulsory motor insurance of civil liability no. 414-XVI of 22.12.2006.The amendments to the law on insurance refer to:

1.1. strengthening the financial stability of insurers, by applying a transparent and complete regulation of the measures used for improving the financial situation and for financial remediation of insurers;

1.2. diversification of the sanctions and penalties applied to insurers for violations and deficiencies identified that shall lea to the consolidation of the supervisory capacity of the financial market authority.According to the draft law, the strengthening of financial capacity of insurers (reinsurers) will be performed by early intervention of NCFM by applying:- financial recovery plan containing effective measures to improve the financial situation of insurers (reinsurers) and financial remediation.The draft law is under examination in the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova.The amendments to the Law on MTPL insurance provides a new approach for:

1. determining the insurance premiums for compulsory motor liability insurance, based on the partial liberalization of their calculation. Thus, it is proposed that insurance premiums be set by insurers based on their own statistics, taking into account country-wide unique methodology approved by the supervisory authority;

2. regulating the way of establishing the real damage incurred as a result of motor vehicle accidents. This way is based on the assessment of the damage value, in case of the replacement of spare parts using the actual prices charged by specialized units;

3. regulating the external financial guarantee required to NBMIM by the Council of Bureaux on the International Green Card System. The draft law includes a separate article which shall amend the Law on compulsory motor insurance of civil liability no. 414-XVI of 22.12.2006 with the art. 351 which will stipulate that the external financial guarantee is set out by the National Bureau at the request and in the amount required by the Council of Bureaux. The insurer contribution to the external financial guarantee is calculated as the ratio between the amount of the guarantee to the number of insurers licensed to practice compulsory internal and external motor liability insurance.

The above mentioned draft law has been approved in the first reading in the Parliamentary session of the Republic of Moldova of 05.11.2015 and is awaiting for the final approval.In order to improve and consolidate the NCFM supervisory powers in the field of capital market, Polish experts have examined and proposed amendments to the new Regulation on Capital Market Abuse which partially transposes the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16.04.2014. The new regulation establishes the regulatory framework for identifying capital market abuse, including in reference to capital market insider trading, unauthorized disclosure of privileged information and to market manipulation, along with measures for the prevention and avoidance of the market abuse aimed at providing for the integrity of the capital market and for the consolidation of protection and trust of investors in this market.
