We have normal decisions to tend to in today’s meeting. I only want to reassert that just like you, I have seen the figures released by INS for the first half of the year. The growth is higher than projected in the agreement with the IMF. As a matter of fact, the IMF also agreed with an increase of the initial projection.

It will then translate in incomes and the rise of the living standard,’ said Ponta. Read more on Financiarul.ro
