“I have an absolutely normal attitude toward the President signing this kind of decree. It is one positive long-term action. I think the President will take this step in the future, for the proclamation of this decree should be preceded by amendments to the laws. This point has already been solved politically, but it still needs to be specified in terms of law. This decree is unlikely to break the ground in the nearest time, for I think we don’t have yet the material basis for a wide ranging privatization of the land, so the implementation of this decree will result in serious problems. Thus I don’t think this decree will be in force as early as tomorrow, but the IMF will surely like this step.”
