Karins voiced hopes that also in the future the central bank will provide its recommendations, helping the government to make decisions, including those related with tax policy.
The prime minister said that Latvia's gross domestic product keeps growing, Latvia is becoming more efficient, but there is still unused economic potential - accumulated savings.
"These savings in bank deposits should be turned into investments, but banks should change their cautious policies to more active lending. We should think what should be done to encourage residents, companies, banks to invest in the country's economy," the prime minister said.
Kazaks said that the country's monetary policy is supporting Latvia's growth, but the range of instruments that can be used is much broader - starting from budget policies to the overall economic environment that would help business representative be braver in their investments.
"Also, fight against financial crimes will be essential in promoting economic development," Kazaks said.
