“The negotiations we held with the team of the International Monetary Fund in February 2020 and the fulfillment of the assumed commitments enabled us to successfully complete the existing program and to lay the basis of a new program. Following this decision, the country during the next few days will benefit from consistent financial support,” Prime Minister Ion Chicu posted on Facebook.
