Moldova’s largest commercial bank, maib – partly owned by the leading Baltic asset management group Invalda INVL – posted an unaudited net profit of 1.99 billion Moldovan lei (MDL) equivalent to EUR 101.8 million at the average exchange rate for 2025, representing a 41% increase compared with 2024.

“2025 marks the successful completion of maib’s transformation phase. By focusing on clients’ needs and consistent digitalisation, we have built a modern banking platform that enables us to effectively support the financial goals of Moldovan businesses and individuals. The growth of more than one quarter in our loan portfolio over the year confirms that maib has become a reliable and convenient partner for everyday financial solutions,” says Vytautas Plunksnis, Chairman of maib’s Supervisory Board and Head of Private Equity at INVL Asset Management.

Net interest income for 2025 amounted to MDL 3.03 billion (EUR 154.8 million), up 32.6% year-on-year, while net fee and commission income rose by 1.7% to MDL 558.9 million (EUR 28.5 million).

Return on equity (ROE) increased to 22.8% in 2025 (from 18% in 2024), driven by strong loan portfolio growth, a stable net interest margin and a significant improvement in asset quality.

As of 31 December 2025, maib’s total assets amounted to MDL 68.1 billion  (EUR 3.4 billion), up 14.2% year-on-year.
