The depositors of Banca de Economii (Savings Bank) who were born until 1991 inclusive and who didn’t receive the sums indexed at the first stage or the second stage the previous years will be able to collect the money this year. The Cabinet approved a relevant decision on Wednesday, IPN reports.
Dina Roșca, secretary general of the Ministry of Labor, said the Government draft decision on the payment of the indexed sum to the depositors of Banca de Economii stipulates the state’s obligations to the citizens who had deposits at BEM according to the situation on January 2, 1992.
Two indexation stages were performed from 2003 until present. However, in 2003-2022 the limit of the beneficiaries born until 1991 inclusive was reached. Over 970 million lei has been paid to these beneficiaries so far, which is about 70% of the applications submitted by depositors.
Dina Roșca noted that a part of the beneficiaries, who are mostly older persons, didn’t manage to file applications and the payment process should be continued in 2023. A sum of 20 million lei was earmarked in the state budget for the purpose.
The indexed sums will be paid depending on the sums allocated in the state budget for the purpose a given year.
