The minimum reserve requirement ratio on foreign currency-denominated liabilities of credit institutions and the ratio on the leu-denominated liabilities were maintained at 10 percent and 8 percent, respectively.

The bank reiterated that it will pursue adequate liquidity management in the banking system.
