[01] Pension, econ reforms eyed
(ANA-MPA) -- The government soon will table in Parliament a draft bill
equalising retirement ages between men and women working in the public
sector, while the draft bill also envisages changes in the countryâs
pension system, the finance ministry announced on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a Cabinet meeting is expected to be held within the next few
days to discuss the governmentâs privatisation programme, the opening
of so-called "closed professions" and implementation of provisions in a
landmark memorandum signed with the European Commission, the IMF and
the European Central Bank.
Finally, the finance ministry said it plans to raise money from
international markets through the issuing of short-term state bills, as
the government does not intend to auction long-term state bonds.
