This approach, while boosting short-term state budget revenues, can limit the ability of key energy firms to finance long-term infrastructure and modernisation projects.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new policy outlined in the ruling strategy, the government will channel retained earnings into a joint reinvestment vehicle aimed at supporting strategic energy projects. The fund will be formed specifically for state-owned energy companies and is expected to accelerate the development of infrastructure aligned with Romania\u2019s energy transition objectives.<\/p>\n<p>The government also plans broader structural reforms across state enterprises. According to the ruling document, administrative costs &#8211; including technical, economic, and administrative (TESA) expenses, as well as management costs &#8211; will be reduced by 20\u201330%. Operational expenses such as protocol spending and sponsorships will also be cut within the same range.<\/p>\n<p><em>iulian@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/\">Hecke01\/Dreamstime.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romania\u2019s new government plans to repeal the current regulation requiring state-owned companies to distribute the majority of their annual profits as dividends, according to the official ruling strategy signed by the four-party coalition.
