Statement of Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis on the conditions of international lenders |
| With regret we must conclude that false information about the negotiations between the government and the international lenders has been systematically disseminated during the last days, as well as about the letter of intent to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and conditions of the supplementary Memorandum of Understanding with the European Community. To prevent further spread of false statements, I consider it necessary to provide additional information about these documents. |
