The Republic of Moldova this year collected into the state budget by 4 billion lei more than last year. Thus, even if the country does not benefit from the €100 million in macro-financial assistance from the EU, the investment projects will continue to be implemented, Prime Minister Pavel Filip stated in the program “Moldova live” on the public TV channel Moldova 1, IPN reports.

“We now rectified the budget and did the calculations without taking into account the macro-financial assistance. No investment projects will be affected because we already managed to mobilize and to organize the country’s economy so that the budget revenues grew more than we expected,” stated the Premier.

Pavel Filip noted that there are 30 conditions that should be fulfilled by the Republic of Moldova for obtaining all the three tranches of the macro-financial assistance of €100 million from the European Union. “We admit that we could fail to receive the money this year, but we will get them next year,” he said.

Political commentator Anatol Taranu said the Government does not encounter big problems in the relations with the International Monetary Fund. “The IMF does not formulate criticism similar to that leveled by the European Parliament,” he stated.
