"In the economic policy nothing has changed from yesterday until today, everything that was valid yesterday is still valid today. We are waiting for the official evaluation of the economy in the first semester and we will make a tough analysis. We currently do not envisage hiking the flat tax or the VAT or changing the macroeconomic indicators," Boc said, answering a press question.
Boc equally denied Romania aims to ask the IMF to raise the loan value.
"We have just received the loan. We should first spend the money we hav," Boc said, reminding the government intends to ask IMF to increase the budget deficit target to include higher investment funds.
German daily Handelsblatt reported Friday, citing unnamed sources close to the IMF, that Romania, Belarus, Ukraine, Serbia and Latvia are speculating an earlier payout or an increase of the IMF-aid package, while Bulgaria, Croatia and Macedonia have asked the fund for assistance.
Romania and the IMF signed in May a EUR12.95 billion two-year stand-by arrangement, as part of a EUR19.95 billion financial support package that also includes funds from the European Commission, the World Bank, the European Investment Bank, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
