PM Tudose: Tax Authority Starts Checkups At Two Banks   Romania’s tax authority ANAF started checkups at two banks that operate in Romania and do not report profit, Prime Minister Mihai Tudose said Sunday evening.   Tudose added that of 36 banks operational in Romania, “18 report profit and 18 do not”.

In an interview for private TV station Antena 3 last week, Tudose lashed out at banks in Romania which reported losses, warning them the “romantic period has passed” and saying they must understand very well the “Romanian state is not a naïve partner”.

”The romantic period has passed. Nobody is willing to believe a banking institution can register loss for consecutive years. (…) Banks have also proved they have a very rich imagination when it comes to outsourcing their profits. But this will no longer work. The finance minister talked to bank representatives and I have publicly said our patience has run out. Banks ought to rethink their strategy in Romania. (…) Maybe it is time everybody knew the Romanian state is not naive”, Tudose said at that time. (cotidianul.ro)
