The&#13;<br \/>\nminister estimates that a lot of companies are going to invest in&#13;<br \/>\ntechnology and more employees will be needed in these sectors as&#13;<br \/>\nwell. The corona crisis has created a lot of problems for the&#13;<br \/>\nRomanian employees. &#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAccording&#13;<br \/>\nto the Labour Ministry, over 400 contracts have been  terminated in&#13;<br \/>\nthis period, particularly in the retail, car and bike repair&#13;<br \/>\nbusinesses, as well as in the sectors of processing and construction.&#13;<br \/>\nThe number of contracts suspended comes close to 600 thousand. On the&#13;<br \/>\nother hand, C\u00ee\u0163u announced that the government is also considering&#13;<br \/>\nincentives for investors in order to enable them to use their&#13;<br \/>\nresources for investment and increase their output capabilities.  &#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAt&#13;<br \/>\nthe same time all the resources Romania has are going to be channeled&#13;<br \/>\ntowards investment, the Romanian minister has explained adding the&#13;<br \/>\npurchasing power will increase as inflation and interest rates are&#13;<br \/>\ngoing down. &#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8216;As&#13;<br \/>\nfor the inflation, things improved from one month to the other. The&#13;<br \/>\ninflation rate went down and is continuing this trend in the coming&#13;<br \/>\nperiod. And the same goes for interest rates, which means the&#13;<br \/>\npurchasing power of the Romanians will increase against the lowering&#13;<br \/>\nprices and interest rates. We have elements indicating the purchasing&#13;<br \/>\npower will definitely increase in the coming period&#8217;, the Finance&#13;<br \/>\nMinister has explained.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAs&#13;<br \/>\nfor the law on the pension raise starting September 1st,&#13;<br \/>\nthis creates sustainability issues with the budget for the following&#13;<br \/>\n2 years, Florin C\u00ee\u0163u says.  Furthermore, international financial&#13;<br \/>\ninstitutions and rating agencies have pointed out that the issue&#13;<br \/>\nrepresents a major risk for the health of the economy. &#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAccording&#13;<br \/>\nto C\u00ee\u0163u,  for this law and for others endorsed by Parliament there&#13;<br \/>\nare no funds and measures must be taken to avoid destabilizing the&#13;<br \/>\neconomy. We recall that last week, the government in Bucharest&#13;<br \/>\nannounced a partnership with the banks to help jump-starting the&#13;<br \/>\neconomy, as according to Florin C\u00ee\u0163u, the banks have both the&#13;<br \/>\nexpertise and the necessary channels to transfer money towards the&#13;<br \/>\neconomy&#8217;s best performing sectors. &#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n(translated&#13;<br \/>\nby bill)<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government in Bucharest is looking for solutions to create fresh jobs and keep at home  the over one million Romanians who returned from abroad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":107,"featured_media":85441,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37738],"tags":[35389,36008,30026,35563,35417],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-85918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-today-in-the-news","tag-citu","tag-contracts","tag-employees","tag-florin","tag-measures"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
