 ”The Law No.1530-XV of December 12, 2002 on indexation of the money deposits  of the citizens in Banca de Economii (Monitorul oficial al Republicii Moldova, 2002, No.174-176, Art.1337) foresees the state obligations to the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, who had money deposits in Banca de Economii  as per January 2, 1992 and  the basic principles on indexation and mode of payment of the indexed amounts are established.

Payment of the indexed amounts is made  at the expense of the state budget foreseen in the annual budget law.

PAYMENT OF THE INDEXED AMOUNTS is made by stages, depending on the year of birth of the depositor:
