The Moldovan authorities and the International Monetary Fund will discuss a new Fund supported program until the next meeting of the IMF Board, Liliana Vitu, spokeswoman for Prime Minister Iurie Leanca, stated for IPN.

The local press reported that the IMF mission that paid a visit to Moldova left without reaching an agreement with the authorities. Liliana Vitu said the goal wasn’t taking a final decision on a new program. “It was agreed to continue the discussions until the next meeting of the IMF Board in the coming weeks,” she stated.

Asked if the IMF insists on setting a VAT of 20% on all the economic entities without exception, Liliana Vitu said that she cannot give details, but the discussions with the Fund’s experts covered this subject too.

The staff team of the International Monetary Fund visited Chisinau during January 15-29 and held discussions with the authorities regarding policies that could form a basis for a Fund supported program.
