For currencies with a small unit value the NBM quotes 10, 100 or 1000 units — that is why some rows read "per 100". The change is computed per unit.

Methodology and sources
How the NBM sets the official rate
The National Bank of Moldova sets the official rate of the leu every business day, based on interbank foreign-exchange market transactions, and publishes it in the second half of the day — valid for the following day. On non-business days the last set rate remains in force.
Official rate vs commercial rate
The NBM rate is a reference rate, used for accounting, statistics and contracts. Actual currency exchange happens at commercial banks and exchange offices, which set their own buy and sell rates with a spread over the reference.
What the nominal means
For currencies with a small unit value (Japanese yen, Hungarian forint and others), the NBM expresses the rate per 10, 100 or 1000 units. The page shows the nominal next to the rate, while the converter and changes always calculate per unit.
Where the data comes from
Every value comes directly from the NBM's official services: the daily rate table and the historical evolution export. Data refreshes automatically; if the source is temporarily down, the page serves the last saved set with its exact date.
Frequently asked questions about exchange rates
The NBM sets the official rate every business day. The published rate is valid for the following day, and this page updates automatically.
