The Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, stated that potential salary increases for public employees in 2027 depend on budget decisions and Romania's commitments to control the deficit. He emphasized that the new unified salary law cannot be adopted in the next couple of months due to the government's focus on budget rectification and preparing the budget for 2027. Manole mentioned that the budget preparation also involves decisions on pensions and social benefits. He noted that while salary expenses are projected at 174 billion lei for 2027, these figures should not be seen as guarantees for salary increases, as actual spending will depend on various factors, including commitments to the European Commission and fiscal rules.
