AlHijjah 23, 1436, Oct 7, 2015, SPA -- Moldova has signed a 150 million-euro ($168 million) loan agreement with neighbor Romania which it hopes will bolster its currency and promote investment, AP reported. Moldova Prime Minister Valeriu Strelet said the five-year loan, which has a 1.5 percent annual interest rate, was a reminder of the close relations between the neighbors. He said Wednesday that Romania is "the only country in the world which constantly says: tell us how we can help you." Moldova's currency has shed about 20 percent of its value this year, after up to $1.5 billion disappeared from three banks before parliamentary elections in November 2014.
