Government proposes abolition of big R

Ljubljana, 27 July - GOVERNMENT/REHABILITATION/BANKS/REVALUATION FACTOR
July inflation has amounted to 2%, and the cost of living has risen over the month by 0.7%, which means that we are now facing a period of stability, stated the Prime Minister of Slovenia, Dr Janez Drnovšek, at a meeting with representatives of Slovenian banks organised by the government in connection with its bank rehabilitation programme. For this reason the revaluation factor (big R) should be abolished, while real interest rates (small r) should be reduced, proposed the Premier.
