Delo: Fear of Loans

Ljubljana, 15 September - The announcement of the President of the Slovenian government, Dr. Janez Drnovšek, about the receipt of 200 billion ECU in credit for road construction from the European Bank for Developmment by the end of this year, aroused great public interest. No greater foreign loan has entered the Slovenian financial sphere for a long time already. On the other hand, the government's economic experts have assured us that this year we would rely only on our own acumulation and foreign exchange reserves, writes Miha Jenko in today's Delo.
