IMF Warns No to Pension Reform Would Decelerate Growth

Ljubljana, 21 March - Antonio Spilimbergo, head of the IMF mission visiting Slovenia, said in Ljubljana on Monday that Slovenia needs to implement the pension reform if it wants to have stable public finances. Without the pension reform, economic growth would be probably lower, because costs of borrowing will increase, he added.
