“The first quarter of the year is over. I would like to discuss our plans and what we need to do. As I already said when appointing new government members we need to improve the situation or at least to preserve the status quo. I do not demand a GDP increase or something like that. We should do our best to avoid decline. We need to hit the targets that we have planned,” the head of state noted.
The head of state was informed about the economic performance in Q1 2015, the monetary policy and the state of affairs in the foreign currency market.
