    Moldova National Commission for Financial Markets warns of Telegram scam using fake authorization for StormGain MD

    The National Commission for Financial Markets warned that a Telegram scam is circulating a fake document claiming the authority authorized StormGain MD to operate in virtual assets and crypto-derivatives. The commission said the document is false and stressed that it currently has no legal power to authorize virtual asset activities because Moldova does not yet have dedicated legislation in this area. It urged the public to verify claimed licenses and check the official register of authorized financial service providers.

The authors say Norway's stronger real economy, a somewhat higher neutral rate and forecast evidence point to greater emphasis on real-economy stabilisation. They add that the data do not support the view that lowering inflation is more costly in Norway and that mandate differences may have influenced the policy trade-off.
