During the discussions, the Premier spoke about the efforts made to improve the situation in the banking sector and measures aimed at improving the investment climate, IPN has learned from the Government’s press service.

The representatives of the diaspora inquired about the situation in agriculture, the investigation of the banking frauds, the benefits of the pension system reform and the impact of the central public administration reform on de-politicization and enhancement of state institutions’ capacities.

“We want to bring about fundamental, not superficial changes. The reforms must be done concomitantly, as a set.
