Home / Politics / Chicu: Following the Results of Negotiations with the IMF, a Secret List of Agreements Appeared
Ion Chicu claims that after negotiations the country’s leadership and representatives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), reached agreements included in the list, which the government keeps secret. Chicu believes that this information is being hidden because it can damage the government’s image, reports realitatea.md “We still don’t know what we agreed with the IMF two months ago, we don’t know any details. This suggests that there is no great success there. If there was a great success, believe me, there would be endless press conferences of all three (the president, the speaker and the Prime Minister). No one has seen a list of prerequisites for the approval of the next program by the IMF Board of Directors. But there is definitely an increase in gas tariffs so that they match the price, an increase in the retirement age and the approval of the budget that we have seen. And so on. Only two or three people know what else is included there. Without this increase in the retirement age, they will not have a new program with the IMF, which is included in the secret list,” Ion Chicu said. Recall that in October, a group of experts from the International Monetary Fund was in Chisinau, meeting with several high-ranking officials of the country. The Group was headed by the Permanent Representative of the IMF in the Republic of Moldova, Rogers Chawani. After discussions with Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita, an agreement was reached, which should be reviewed and submitted for approval in December by the IMF management and the Fund’s Executive Committee. The agreement provides for support in the amount of 564 million US dollars, which will be provided for the next 3 years and 4 months. Point
