DIALOG VASILE TARLEV - HASSAN AL-ATRASH

Chisinau, 17 iul. /MOLDPRES/. Tara noastra este interesata in
reluarea unor relatii intense cu organizatiile financiare
internationale si mizeaza mult pe sustinerea Fondului Monetar
International in relansarea economiei nationale, a estimat
Premierul Vasile Tarlev la intrevederea avuta marti cu Hassan
Al-Atrash, reprezentant permanent al FMI in Republica Moldova.

Potrivit Serviciului de presa al Guvernuui, dialogul a fost
axat pe probleme ce vizeaza Memorandumul incheiat intre
Executivul de la Chisinau si FMI si masurile stipulate in el.
Partile s-au referit si la mecanismul de redresare a economiei
si de reducere a saraciei. La sfarsitul anului 2000,
precizeaza sursa citata, FMI a decis acordarea unui credit de
150 mln dolari pe un termen de 3 ani. Deja au fost realizate
doua transe a cate 50 mln dolari, toate aceste surse
financiare fiind indreptate pentru sustinerea balantei de
plati.

Vasile Tarlev si Hassan Al-Atrash au discutat si alte momente
stipulate in Memorandum, cum ar fi prezentarea in Parlament a
proiectelor de lege cu privire la inspectarea marfurilor
inainte de expediere si la zonele economice libere, masurile
de anuntare a tenderului pentru privatizarea unor
intreprinderi de vinificatie si de prelucrare a tutunului.

Intrevederea de astazi, a specificat reprezentantul permanent
al FMI in Moldova, urmareste scopul de a aprecia gradul de
pregatire a viitoarelor negocieri cu Misiunea FMI, ce va sosi
la Chisinau la finele lunii curente. In cadrul acestor
negocieri se vor discuta aspecte ce tin de raporturile FMI cu
Guvernul moldovean.

Seful Executivului a salutat intentiile FMI, accentuand ca in
prezent se impune ca niciodata o colaborare intensa in
vederea promovarii mai active a sustinerii financiare din
partea organismelor internationale financiare.
