Romanian PM-designate Mureșan pledges to cut parliamentarians, cap state secretaries

In his investiture speech, PM-designate Siegfried Mureșan proposed reducing the number of parliamentarians and limiting state secretaries to three per ministry, alongside reforms to state-owned enterprises within the first year. The proposal signals a fiscal consolidation agenda, but its feasibility depends on parliamentary support and constitutional constraints. This is a domestic political development with potential medium-term implications for Romania's fiscal trajectory.
