This week, the Government, but also the Prime Minister personally, focused on actions with a pronounced social character.

Thus, it was established that as of 1 May, the guaranteed minimum salary in the real sector will increase by 165 lei and will amount to 2775 lei per month.

The Government also decided that farmers would receive larger state subsidies. The financial support granted to a farmer was increased from 3 million to 5 million lei per year, and for producer groups – up to 7.5 million lei.

Another important decision concerns the “First Home” Program. Thus, it has been established that the maximum reserve that creditors may apply during the year 2019 for state-guaranteed loans under the “First Home” Government Program will be reduced from 3% to 2%.
