Chisinau, 22 December /MOLDPRES/ - The Moldovan cabinet members, at a today’s meeting, voted for the extension by one year of the temporary moratorium on the employment of public sector staff on the vacant positions registered.
According to Deputy Prime Minister, Finance Minister Serghei Puscuta, the measures of salary policy proposed for 2021 have a considerable impact on the national public budget, with the staff expenses forecast with an increase of more than 817.1 million lei against the level approved for the 2020 year.
