  • [01] Statement of President Emil Constantinescu regarding the situation unleashed by the crisis at the FNI - National Investments Fund

    On Monday afternoon president Emil Constantinescu made a press statement referring to the situation created in the wake of the FNI - National Investments Fund - crisis. The president who was quoted by RADIO ROMANIA ACTUALITATI said that because of the seriousness of the situation, by the negative implications in the life of the people and by the propagation of mistrust in financial - banking institutions he decided to make immediate decisions. The Head of State asked the Romanian Information Service to assess the situation from the point of view of risks that might affect national security. At the same time the President asked the Home Ministry to start speedy inquest of the situation created in the non banking sectors and added that the Cabinet must strengthen immediately, by emergency Ordinance, legislation in the domain of mutual funds and other nonbanking financial institutions. President Constantinescu also asked police to find the responsible persons that facilitated illegal payments after the FNI declared it would not longer make payments in order to protect investors.

    This is what counsellor Mihai David said after telling media that the Prime Minister has made extensive analysis of the situation and said that each person implicated must answer for his or her deeds. Law must prevail, added Prime Minister Mugur Isarescu.

    [03] BCR - Romanian Commercial Bank - can pay back any amount of money demanded by the investors

    Counsellor Adrian Vasilescu said that in the wake of the fact that a number of people are calling up investors and persons that deposited their money with the Romanian Commercial Bank urging them to draw their money back as the BCR could go bankrupt. Mr. Vasilescu said that BCR is one of the most powerful banks of the country and has a complex of facilities, both assets and funds with which it could face any situation. The counsellor of the Prime Minister said that panic of FNI would not be propagated into the banking system as deposits guaranteed by the state are sure.
