The IMF’s representatives pointed out that no budget expense is involved, said Sarbu.
He added that the foreign officials urged care in the program’s implementation, to avoid attempts at abuse or fraud.
According to Sarbu, the government will adopt a decision on the “pensioner’s basket” three weeks from now.
The program will provide pensioners each month with a package comprising basic food products, like flour, sugar, oil, corn and rice, for the “lowest price possible.”
