The BDB will try to develop a financial market product through which public sector employees entitled to retirement benefits can use part of what is owed to them early in the form of a low-interest loan or other financial instrument, he said. "In this way the state bank will intervene in the social infrastructure to strengthen the human resources potential in key areas," he added and specified that this concerns firefighters, policemen, teachers, military.
