Tudose said he has had unpleasant experiences with banks and that he refuses to direct his salary into a bank account to avoid withdrawal fees and prevent the bank from making a profit from unnecessary commissions.
The prime minister has repeatedly said he doubts the accuracy of financial reports presented by banks.
Vasilescu said banks are allowed to act only within legal limits and that the laws regulating commissions can be directly modified by the government through the National Authority for Consumer Protection. He added the government constantly takes loans from banks, by selling state paper, to pay for pensions and salaries.
