The number of government officials working at various control agencies has increased by 3.5 thousand people<\/strong> from 51.2 thousand in 2011 to 54.8 thousand today. That is while the country’s population has decreased by 343 thousand inhabitants<\/strong>, from 2.93 million in 2011 to 2.6 million in 2021, as being mentioned in an analysis<\/a> published by the economic expert Veaceslav Ionita.<\/p>\n

10 years ago, there was an average of 17.6 bureaucrats per one thousand inhabitants. This figure has increased by over 20%<\/span>, meaning that today we already have 21.4 bureaucrats per one thousand inhabitants. According to the expert, the number of government bureaucrats in charge of public services is unbalanced when compared to the number of people who would request such public services. “If we keep the rate from 2011, then we would have to reduce the number of bureaucrats by 10 thousand people.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Nowadays, the costs for a single employee of the bureaucratic system reach 200 thousand lei, including the payments related to salary, bonuses, social expenses, as well as office space and other labor costs. “The maintenance costs of this additional and unnecessary number of bureaucrats amount to at least 2 billion lei annually<\/span>,”<\/em> the expert claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The number of government control agencies was reduced from 68 to 19, as being displayed<\/a> on the official page of the national public services portal. “The number of control institutions were reduced, but not the number of bureaucrats in charge of controls. In the last 4 years alone, the number of permissive acts in Moldova has decreased 3 times. Thousands of people were dealing with unnecessary and harmful activity by offering permits for certain types of activity. Their activity proved to be useless and, consequently, was ended. But the bureaucrats stayed in offices, even though their previous positions were removed. Obviously, all the thousands of people, who have lost the right to control or allow something, started to look for new solutions to ‘milk’ the money\u00a0 from businesses.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The expert says that the damage caused by the unnecessary activity of such officials amounts to tens of billions lei each year<\/span> in the form of lack of investment in Moldova, people emigration, shutting down companies due to corruption, exaggerated prices due to monopolies protected by bureaucrats and other costs borne by the society.<\/p>\n

It is still not clear why Moldova would need a National Agency for the Regulation of Nuclear and Radiological Activities, given that there are no nuclear power plants on the territory of the country and given that there is already a National Agency for Energy Regulation. Also, there are 3 agencies in charge of land recording and cadastral maps creation in the Republic of Moldova. The economic expert believes that some control agencies could be merged in a single market regulation agency and that would be a way to optimize public expenditures.<\/p>\n
