The new agreement with the IMF amounts to 5-6 billion euro but the value might increase up to 8 billion euro depending on the financing need which will be established in March 2011, governmental sources declared for the financial daily Ziarul Financiar.

The loan will be preventive, meaning that the IMF will release at each evaluation a sum of money which will not not enter the accounts of the Romanian central bank or to the state budget as it happens now bu that the money will remain at Washington and will be available for unforeseable events.
