IMF waits for achievements from Moldovan Government

At the end of a familiarization visit to Moldova, the new head of the IMF Mission to Moldova, Thomas Richardson, stated that no negotiations for a new financing program between IMF and Moldova are planned for the nearest time.

“We must wait for a while and see what results will be achieved by the Moldovan authorities,” specified Richardson at a press conference.

According to the IMF official, the mission that will visit Moldova in June will have as aim to evaluate the economic accomplishments of the Moldovan Government, and not to negotiate for a new financing program.

On the other hand, Richardson mentioned that IMF will cooperate with the Moldovan authorities about resumption of financing if they prove they are ready to implement a program of reforms that would enable a macroeconomic stability, a reduced inflation, and in the end, an economic growth.

The IMF expert stressed the necessity of improving the business climate and of reducing corruption in Moldova. According to Richardson, the executive council of the fund will analyze and decide which of the Government’s plans: Plan of Actions Moldova-EU, Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, “Moldovan Village” etc have a greater importance. “In these policies the stress must be laid on structural reforms relevant at macroeconomic level,” said the expert.

“We are only at an initial stage of such discussions with the Moldovan Government,” stated Thomas Richardson.

FMI asteapta performante de la Guvernul moldovean

La finele vizitei de documentare in Republica Moldova, noul sef al Misiunii FMI pentru Moldova, Thomas Richardson, a declarat ca, in timpul apropiat, nu se prevad negocieri asupra unui nou program de finantare intre FMI si Moldova. “Trebuie sa asteptam un timp si sa vedem realizarea unor performante pozitive din partea autoritatilor moldovenesti”, a precizat Richardson, in cadrul unei conferinte de presa.

Potrivit oficialului de la FMI, misiunea care va vizita Moldova in luna iunie va avea drept obiectiv evaluarea realizarilor in plan economic ale Executivului moldovenesc, si nu negocierea unui nou program de finantare.

Pe de alta parte, Richardson a mentionat ca FMI va colabora cu autoritatile moldovene in vederea reluarii finantarii, daca acestea vor demonstra ca sunt gata sa implementeze un program de reforme capabile sa conduca la o stabilitate macroeconomica, o inflatie redusa si, in final, la o crestere economica”.

Expertul FMI a mai relevat necesitatea imbunatatirii mediului de afaceri si reducerii coruptiei in Moldova. Potrivit lui, Richardson, consiliul executiv al fondului va analiza si va decide care dintre politicile planurilor Guvernului: Planul de Actiuni Moldova-Uniunea Europeana, Strategia de Crestere Economica si Reducere a Saraciei, “Satul Moldovenesc” etc au o prioritate mai mare. "Accentul in aceste politici trebuie pus pe reformele structurale relevante la nivel macroeconomic", a mentionat expertul.

FMI este doar la etapa initiala a unor discutii cu Guvernul moldovean despre un posibil nou program de finantare, a concluzionat Thomas Richardson.
