DUSHANBE, March 4, 2009, Asia-Plus — The plan of activities to mitigate effects of the global financial crisis has been practically completed and it will be submitted for consideration to the government within the next few day, Anvar Latipov, Aide to Economic Development and Trade Minister, said in an interview with Asia-Plus.
As it had been reported earlier, Prime Minister Oqil Oqilov signed the plan of anticrisis measures on December 31, 2008.
The interdepartmental commission for mitigation of the financial crisis effects has reviewed the document taking into consideration proposals of relevant ministries and organizations. “At present, we are waiting for resolution of the National Bank of Tajikistan (NBT),” said Latipov, “As soon as we receive it, we will submit the document for consideration to the government.”
The plan of anticrisis activities consists of five components: tax-budgetary policy; state support for real sector of economy; providing population with jobs; ensuring food security; and general events on carrying out reforms, the aide said, adding that it is still premature to speak about any specific amount of funds needed for implementation of the anticrisis plan.
