PRIME MINISTER VALENTIC MEETS WORLD BANK OFFICIALS

ZAGREB, March 15 (Hina) - Croatian Prime Minister, Nikica Valentic, today met the head of the World Bank department for central Europe, Michel Noel and senior consultant with the same department, Olivier Godron. Stressing the Government's determination to implement the restructuring and rehabilitation scheme, Valentic said success depended on synchronising the restructuring of loss-making companies and the rehabilitation of banks. The whole package of measures, which includes bills on privatisation and securities, was soon to be submitted to Parliament, Valentic said. "We are ready to assist the Croatian Government in implementing the programme through measures for injecting life into the money markets, loans to particular companies and bank rehabilitation loans," Noel said.
