“The last thing Romania will do is take a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). We can finance the budget deficit with money set aside by the European Union for non-euro countries.”
Romanian President Traian Basescu, January 16, 2009
“We are taking a loan from the IMF because we have no idea how the economy is going to perform. It is an act of prudence.”
Romanian President Traian Basescu, March 11, 2009
