Prime Minister: Layoffs in the administration - only after analysis

There will be no layoffs in budget structures before a comprehensive analysis is carried out. This was what Prime Minister Rumen Radev said at the beginning of today's government meeting, commenting on the planned reduction in the number of civil servants and the upcoming changes in the administration. "I want to clearly state that there will be no mass layoffs that lead to a loss of administrative capacity.

There will be no layoffs and restructuring without a thorough analysis to establish which functions are duplicated, which are outdated and inadequate, and which can be automated and digitalized," the Prime Minister said. Agencies and directorates with duplicate functions are to be merged. The Administrative Reform Council under the government will be headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Galab Donev. A few days ago, Donev stated that from September 1, costs for salaries in the state administration will be reduced by 10%, but salaries will not be reduced.
