The Minister of Finance, Alexandru Nazare, announced that, in the last three years, personnel expenses in the public sector have increased by 40%, reaching 170 billion lei per year.

During an intervention at Digi 24, Nazare was asked whether the reductions in these expenses are necessary to decrease the budget deficit for this year or if they aim to reduce the deficit for the next year. The minister clarified that reductions in personnel expenses were not considered to address this year's deficit, suggesting that measures to reduce expenses will be taken into account for the future.
