The economy ministry announced
Tuesday it will cut 139 managers as part of the government's
spending review process to reduce waste and generate money for
its reforms.
The ministry will cut its managers from 712 to 573 and shut
down 10 regional offices as of February 2015, it said in a note.
As well, it plans to save money by sharing or reducing
office space and streamlining its operations across the country,
the ministry said.
"There is an enormous spirit of collaboration on the part
of all the ministries," said Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan.
"The idea is to become more efficient and save public money
while maintaining the quantity and quality of services".
Premier Matteo Renzi has asked his cabinet members to
submit proposals for 3% cuts in their ministry budgets as part
of the spending review process.
