President Leonel Fern?ndez met with the nation’s leading bankers yesterday to whom he appealed for support in convincing legislators to pass loan bills now in Congress or that will be sent to Congress by the Executive Branch. The PRD-majority Senate has stated it will not pass any initiatives sent by the government due to the political impasse with the government. The bankers agreed to lobby on behalf of the government. Several bills would provide Interamerican Development Bank financing for the reconstruction of areas and sectors that were affected by Hurricane Georges.
