Hausner warns of złoty meltdown if his budget cuts are not fully accepted

His statement was followed by announcements that next week a select Sejm commission would begin a discussion among parliamentarians concerning the proposed reform of public finances. "If fundamental disagreements emerge, or any of the bills are rejected, then the previous situation will return," Hausner told journalists. Wiesław Kaczmarek, who will probably head the commission, hopes that the Sejm will be able to vote on the bills on pre-pension benefits and new rules of indexing pensions before the end of March.
