No Need for Controversy with Agencies

Finance Minister Slavko Linić commented on whether Croatia will also start a dispute with rating agencies.

-There is no need to clash over something that is not a good data point, and on the other hand, it should be clear to everyone that for the sixth year in the Republic of Croatia we have no economic growth. Why should we argue with the agencies when our analysts are competing on how much they should reduce in the rebalancing. The government said around 1.2 billion, to drop below a deficit of 10 billion, and as I see, our analysts are already racing towards 3 billion. Therefore, there is no need for us to engage in a debate with the agencies.- said Linić.
