The Romanian government has pledged to find a strategic investor to buy at least 20% in postal company Posta Romana during a capital increase scheduled for 2012 and to start collective layoffs under a previously established restructuring plan.
The capital increase should be completed by the end of April 2012, according to the country’s latest letter of intent to a EUR3.5 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund.
Shortly after the capital hike, the new shareholder in Posta Romana will be consulted in view of appointing private management and board members, the government said.
Posta Romana is Romania’s largest provider of postal services. The company is 75%-owned by the Communication Ministry, while investment fund Fondul Proprietatea (FP.RO) holds the remainder stake.
The company posted losses of EUR29 million in 2010.
According to the government’s letter of intent, Posta Romana will have reduced its unit network to around 5,800 by the end of this month, from 7,100 units in December 2010.
Posta Romana employs some 35,000 staff. The company’s reorganization plan entails cutting approximately 1,400 jobs.
