Romania PM says hopes crisis to end Friday


    BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's leftist government is expected to survive a vote of no-confidence by the centrist opposition on Friday which will also end a week-long political crisis, Prime Minister Victor Ponta said on Tuesday.

    "The leu's exchange rate, all data regarding investors' trust in Romania have yet to be altered so that's why it is fundamental to show that we are not dealing with a long-term crisis," Ponta told foreign media in Bucharest.
