The Parliament's Standing Bureau adopted this decision when it approved the agenda for the plenary session on November 16. Among the topics to be considered by lawmakers are the reform of the unified wage system in the public sector, a report on the management and privatization of state property in 2025, and a report by the investigative commission on the results of an audit of several state-owned enterprises. In the first reading, the MPs will consider a draft law on reforming the unified pay system in the public sector. According to estimates by the Ministry of Finance, starting January 1, 2027, the salaries of more than 172,000 public sector employees will increase by an average of 15.7%. Approximately 3.2 billion lei will be allocated in next year's budget to implement the reform. The reform aims to create a fair, transparent, competitive, and financially sustainable wage system. Its objectives include ensuring comparable salaries for positions of similar complexity, reducing wage inequality, and establishing transparent mechanisms to incentivize productivity. At the same time, the ratio of the minimum to the maximum wage is to be reduced to 1:10.5, compared to the current level, which in some cases reaches 1:26. The agenda for the plenary session of Parliament also includes a hearing on the Public Property Agency's report on the management and privatization of state property in 2025. Lawmakers will also hear a report from the investigative commission on the results of an audit of certain state-owned enterprises, led by MP Dinu Plîngău. Among the issues on the session's agenda are changes to the criteria for awarding contracts for the government procurement of textbooks, as well as a draft agreement on Moldova's accession to the Statute of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA). // 13.11.2026 — InfoMarket
