Posta Romana general manager Dan Neagoe said in a press conference that this personnel will be redistributed to other company branches, such as the banking or insurance firms it plans to set up. An evaluation will determine whether layoffs are necessary, he added.
Posta Romana plans to provide financial-banking services through its offices starting with 2012, by setting up such a company on its own or in partnership with a bank, or as a distributor for financial products and services through its own network and personnel.
The company is currently running a pilot-project selling general insurance policies in 500 offices, a figure which will double by the end of the year.
