Speaking after his party’s meeting with representatives of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and European Commission, Sarbu said this measure is necessary to encourage the creation of jobs in the private sector.
He added that, barring a global economic crash, pensions will be increased by 50% of the average wage raise and indexed with the rate of inflation, as of January 1, 2012.
According to Sarbu, next year, public sector employees will recover the entire difference in their salaries following the 25% cut in 2009. A decision to this end will be made by the Government in October, when the macroeconomic indicators for 2012 will be determined.
