What the government is doing right now is a complete disgrace. We have planned to enter the eurozone and be on an equal footing with other EU members, but this is not being done in secret corners, as the recovery plan has done. This is what economist Mika Zaykova told Nova TV.
According to her, the experts did not see the recovery plan until Mrs. Von der Layen brought it to us “on paper”.
“When I read what it says, my hair stood on end,” said Zaykova, adding that she was worried the same thing would happen with the adoption of the euro.
According to her, if this is done secretly, then there is something that is worrying. “The most worrying is the lev-euro exchange rate. “We already have one of the highest inflation rates,” she said.
“Can you imagine when we get off the currency board and switch to the euro and there is no brake to limit printing (on money),” Zaikova asked.
“We did not give up Russian gas, but cheap Russian gas. “These gas prices are nothing compared to what has been waiting for us since May 10,” she said.
“OPEC countries do not want to sell for $ 50 a barrel, but for $ 110, as it is today,” the economist said.
According to her, the oil embargo will not seriously affect Russia, because the Russian president in response restricts the export of other raw materials to the world.
What happened is scandalous, he said on the occasion of the introduction of the euro and the economic expert Stoyan Panchev.
“At least he has to go through parliament. “It should be widely discussed with scientists, experts, etc.,” he said.
“There is no way out of the eurozone. This is a change that cannot just happen, “he said, adding that he said there should even be a referendum on the euro.
“There is inflation from the currency. There is also an inflation that few people talk about – after the transition from a currency board to the euro. In Estonia it is 20%, in Lithuania about 17% “, the economist pointed out.
“The currency board is shrinking the money supply. With the entry into the eurozone, it is expanding and prices are jumping, “he explained.
Regarding the oil embargo on Russia, he said that “most likely there will be no effect on the Russian economy.”
