When I had to translate some documents, I didn’t know exactly what the equivalent in Romanian was: (1) The disbursement [plata] of the loan shall be made during the commitment period on (1) The disbursement [plata] of the loan shall be made during the commitment period on a day on which commercial banks are open for the transaction of general business. a day on which commercial banks are open for the transaction of general business. (2) The bank at the moment is not in a position to allow for further disbursements (2) The bank at the moment is not in a position to allow for further disbursements [tragere] under the loan after the conditions specified in the waiver are fulfilled. [tragere] under the loan after the conditions specified in the waiver are fulfilled. (3) All disbursement applications [cerere de plata] shall be submitted by the borrower to (3) All disbursement applications [cerere de plata] shall be submitted by the borrower to the bank at least 5 business day prior to the proposed date of such disbursement. the bank at least 5 business day prior to the proposed date of such disbursement.

Asking the specialist: I asked Ena Farca, civil servant working for the City Hall Iasi, head of the International Relations and European Projects Office, and she told me “disbursement” means “tragere” She also mentioned that this happens with the loans from IMF (International Monetary Fund) and other international finance institutions (i.e. IBRD ) I was puzzled because most of the dictionaries give only this definition “ plati” More, I didn’t understand exactly what the term reffered to.

Then I started my research: As a graduate of International Business within the Faculty of Economics Iasi, I started to refresh my memory As a graduate of International Business within the Faculty of Economics Iasi, I started to refresh my memory I looked up in my courses “ Economie mondiala” and “ Relatii financiare si monetare internationale” I looked up in my courses “ Economie mondiala” and “ Relatii financiare si monetare internationale”

I looked up in the dictionaries and searched the websites.
