Romanian Govt Might Unfreeze Hiring In Health, Education, Administration Sectors In 2012

If the need for more staff in the health, education and possibly administration sectors is high next year, the Government will apply derogation from the norm which states only one in seven vacant positions may be filled, said the prime minister, adding authorities will unfreeze hiring in these sectors through Government decisions.

Boc announced this summer staff spending must not exceed 7.2% of the gross domestic product in 2012, which means hiring in the public sector will be frozen and only one in seven vacancies will be filled.

In 2009, the Government decided, following negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, to keep public sector hiring frozen and fill only one in seven vacancies. The decision was taken through an emergency ordinance and remained valid in 2010 and 2011.

The Government's fiscal strategy for 2012-2014 states the measure will also apply in 2012 and 2013.

By freezing hiring in the public sector, the Government expects to save 1.72 billion lei (about EUR395 million) next year and RON1.99 billion in 2013.

President Traian Basescu said last month Romania will continue to reduce the number of public sector employees, "especially in public administration".
