Pointing out that the initiatives of the Central Bank for the continuation of public finances and for private enterprises are important, President Tatar noted that there are currently financial deficits in the country, however these conditions are also in existence  in the United States, Europe and other countries.

Noting that he appreciates the work carried out by the Minister of Finance and his undersecretary, President Tatar added: "I would like to express that my attention is to   evaluate the current process, to  examine the table in the best way and to evaluate how the process can be managed".
