The mission has already had basic figures, haw much we need. The purpose of this financial program is the stabilization of State finances and the stabilization of State payment balance,» the Head of Government said. «I’m certain this program will be launched. I’m confident that we will have to revise the budget. I’m confident that we will have to move further concerning optimization, including social policy. I’m confident that this will enable us to pay our foreign debts. I’m sure that it will increase the volume of gold and foreign exchange reserves. I am confident that it will restore confidence in the banking system, and not millions, but billions of dollars in cash that are in the vaults of commercial banks, return on deposits from basements, banks will receive the loan resources, confidence in the banking system and currency will be restored. And we will have economic growth gradually,» the PM noted.

And then they will have the moral right to talk to their taxpayers in Berlin, whether in Brussels or in Washington that the country should have support,» the PM said.
