High stakes for key ministries in Romania this year

Several projects will test the strength of the new Government in Romania this year, when officials will need to secure more funding to keep afloat, create more jobs and tackle the social distress in the country. The new government aims to increase salaries and pensions, reduce taxation, create more jobs in healthcare, increase the absorption of EU funding to some EUR 6 billion and open 100 kilometers of highways. Achieving all these aims would be a tall order in any country and whatever the economic conditions, and several key ministries will have to take care of crucial projects for Romania. Romania-Insider.com looks at these projects and the proposed ministers that will oversee them.
