The budget rectification proposal for the Labor Ministry provides for a reduction by 3.3 billion lei in the subsidy granted from the state budget to the social insurance budget, which reflects the increase in revenues collected from employees' contributions, the Minister of Labour and Social Protection, Raluca Turcan wrote on Monday, on Facebook.
She added that "reducing the state budget subsidy does not mean slashing the budget allocated to the Ministry of Labour", and "the necessary amounts for the payment of pensions, social benefits and other rights are provided for in the social insurance budget and will be paid on time to beneficiaries, as before".
Raluca Turcan also mentioned that the proposal for the ministry's budget revision also provides for an increase of 547 million lei to balance the unemployment budget, "as a result of the increase in expenditures for the application of the active measures aimed at employees and employers."
