Minus 25% on wages, minus 15% on pensions. The Romanian government just presented a drastic severity program to prevent the economy from losing control. Indeed, the measures implemented are drastic: on June 1st, the salary of the 1.3 million civil servants is going to be cut by 25%, their 13th month cancelled in 2010, and nearly 100,000 jobs are going to be cut in the civil service. “Spared” at first, the employees in businesses where the State is a majority shareholder are also going to see their income drop by one fourth.
