Personnel expenses in local public administration increased by 10% in the first six months of 2025, contrary to expectations of a decrease.

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan emphasized that, despite the lack of staff increases, personnel expenses in local public administration have risen by 10% compared to the previous year. He highlighted the importance of controlling these expenses to avoid wasting financial resources. Additionally, Bolojan mentioned a package of measures submitted to Parliament aimed at reducing privileges in the public sector, but he stressed that the reform of local public administration was not included due to a lack of political agreement. This reform is essential for optimizing state expenditures.
