OREANDA-NEWS. June 24, 2009. After the National Bank of Moldova (BNM) revoked the licence of the commercial bank  Investprivatbank, move made strictly in line with the legislation in force to protect the rights of the depositors and the bank's clients, the government, after analysing the present situation, is willing to buy this bank in the form of a single patrimonial lot through Moldova's Banca de Economii (Savings Bank, BEM), in which the state holds the main stake, reported the Official website gov.md.

Thus, the participants in a meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Zinaida Grecianii, and attended by BNM governor Leonid Talmaci, the head of Banca de Economii, Grogore Gacikevici, and other officials, took a decision that all assets and liabilities of Investprivatbank be transferred to Banca de Economii. This implies that the depositors of Investprivatbank will automatically become BEM depositors, and the protection of their rights will be thus ensured.

Prime Minister Zinaida Grecianii called on all Investprivatbank depositors and clients to display understanding, as by this purchasing operation, the state guarantees the integrity of all money deposited in this bank's accounts.
