📋 Tender Overview
Today, in the government meeting, the executive took two essential decisions for the modernization of the corporate governance of state companies, in line with the OECD criteria and the requirements of the PNRR, by adopting a Memorandum proposed by the General Secretariat of the Government and the Deputy Prime Minister Oana Gheorghiu and developed together with relevant institutions. These measures represent the first steps for the implementation of the Strategy and the action plan approved by the Government on November 24, 2025 for the reform of state companies.
On the one hand, the Memorandum clearly defines for the first time the roles of the institutions involved in the reform process, as well as the coordination and monitoring mechanism of the reform of state companies, in accordance with an integrated strategic vision, which establishes the way in which the Romanian state strengthens its position in the economic fields in which it is strategic to be present. The Memorandum also strengthens AMEPIPs role in the technical evaluation of public enterprises and establishes an interministerial mechanism through which the reform process is coordinated, monitored and accelerated.
The goal is an efficient, professional and transparent process that leads to correct decisions regarding the listing, reorganization or restructuring of state-owned companies for the benefit of the economy and citizens and in accordance with Romanias commitments in the PNRR. Restructuring is a complicated process. We need to solve the problems that are the source of debts, poor working conditions for employees and poor services for citizens. The ministries that have under the companies have taken important steps in some of the most difficult processes of restructuring. We need communication between several state actors, which often do not belong to a single institution. We have a very tight time horizon - August 2026 - which forces us to have an accelerated pace, which will allow the process to continue until we resolve the situation of all 1,500 companies. declared Oana Gheorghiu, deputy prime minister.
The inter-institutional coordination role of CNR9
For this purpose, the Interministerial Committee to support the implementation of Reform 9 (CNR9), led by Deputy Prime Minister Oana Gheorghiu, will have the role of coordinating and monitoring the analysis, evaluation and implementation processes of the reform of public enterprises, under the conditions that the line ministries and AMEPIP retain their own responsibilities in the process.
The committee will propose to the public authorities a unified methodology for analyzing the performance of public enterprises, which must be applied by all ministries and public enterprises, including the standard set of financial, non-financial, operational and strategic indicators; will monitor the transmission of relevant data from public enterprises to AMEPIP and to the Committee; will validate and strengthen the analyzes regarding the listing and restructuring of central state companies at the level of the ministries; will deal with the final integration of the results in a report to be presented to the Government. Also, the Committee will centralize and analyze the data, based on the information sent by the ministries and public enterprises, and formulate the preliminary and final diagnosis of the companies included in the list of those that will be listed or restructured.
The committee will identify the necessary measures for each company analyzed, namely: listing, maintaining activity with the implementation of operational reforms, reorganization, according to the Civil Code, through merger, division or transformation, and will submit proposals to the Government, based on the conclusions of the analyzes and in correlation with AMEPIP recommendations.
This same structure will monitor the implementation of the measures approved by the Government and put into practice by the tutelary public authorities and will periodically report to the Government the status of the reform, signaling in time delays or systemic risks. This will allow avoiding new delays in the process of reforming state companies.
The committee ensures permanent technical dialogue with AMEPIP for: correlating methodologies, approving reorganization proposals, verifying compliance with the provisions of GEO no. 109/2011, harmonizing the corporate governance process at the state level and coordinating analyzes that require intersectoral evaluation (energy, transport, industry, etc.).
CNR9 functions as an interministerial coordination mechanism: it consolidates information, monitors the course of Reform 9, prevents institutional blockages and intervenes to solve them when they occur. The Committees role is to support AMEPIP and ensure that technical analysis is properly integrated into the Governments decision-making process and that processes are carried through to completion.
rawle 17 companies that are analyzed in the reform process
On the other hand, through the same Memorandum, the Government approved the list of 17 companies proposed by the line ministries that enter the first stage of the reform process, according to the strategy coordinated by the Deputy Prime Minister Oana Gheorghiu.
The ministries selected the 17 companies according to sector priorities and strategies, but their analysis will be done within the framework of an integrated strategic vision of Romanias economy and interests, which will be coordinated by CNR9, as well as based on objective criteria established by law.
The steps of the evaluation process will be the following, according to the Memorandum adopted by the Government:
1. Collecting up-to-date data by ministries and supplementing them with data from the Ministry of Finance collected from SAF-T;
2. AMEPIPs evaluation of companies performance, based on financial, operational and good governance indicators, according to GEO no. 109/2011, with subsequent amendments and additi
