					<description><![CDATA[Joseph Muscat, Karmenu Vella and Charlie Mangion are all described as &#039;practically prime minister and respective ministers of  Finance, Economy, Financial Services and Pensions.

Edward Scicluna is the only member of Labour&#039;s ideas panel meeting with IMF officials, still without any title. Something doesn&#039;t smell right.

Here we are, Scicluna contesting in the impending general election, so can we say that he is practically out of the EU and willing to become servant to an immature man half his age? His future pay will be much less than his soon to end EU salary, but one suspects that money is secondary to his future status as a poorly paid Labour back-bencher.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is no wonder that the PL press release is so dry.

&quot;Acknowledging that Malta has made strides forward in the past years to consolidate and give credibility to its public finances, particularly through the reduction of the structural deficit, the IMF warned that the island need to continue on these lines.

“Malta’s resilience to date cannot be taken for granted—continued vigilance is required,” the IMF said in its mission conclusion statement.&quot;
