Boc met Thursday evening with officials of the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and World Bank.
“The Government and the IMF have agreed to keep the provision on salaries and pensions from the previous letter in the new letter to the Fund and European Commission, as a guarantee that the two parties do not rule out the possibility of a modest raise, if the economy’s development in the first quarter provides the necessary revenue. Nevertheless, an actual decision to this end has not been made,” people close to the matter told MEDIAFAX.
Leaders of Romania’s ruling coalition decided Monday the prime minister will negotiate a potential raise in public wages and pensions with the International Monetary Fund. Boc warned, however, that this is dependent on the economy’s stability and growth.
