Romania’s Finance Minister: No Talks About A New IMF Loan

Finance Minister Sebastian Vladescu said today that the Romanian authorities are not discussing about a new loan with the IMF representatives. "The topic in not on the talks agenda at this point," Vladescu told reporters. This matter was confirmed by Prime Minister Emil Boc.

 

Vladescu’s statement comes as a respons to what Cezar Coraci, the head of Romanian employers' confederation UGIR-1903 said earlier. Coraci declared that IMF mission chief Jeffrey Franks told employers that Romanian authorities and the International Monetary Fund are discussing a possible new loan.
