Companies with 850m-euro business insolvent
9 mar 2010
As part of its new anti-crisis plan, the Government should
announce the creation of a national investment fund fuelled by
minority stakes the state holds in various companies, which should
be used for investment projects.
While companies continue to slip into the crisis and more and
more are becoming acquainted with the taste of insolvency, the
Govenrment is beginning to fail even in organising anti-crisis
seminars.
With few measures likely to make an impact and curb recession
effects taken in the first few months of the year, the Government
was supposed to announce a new plan yesterday during a debate
organised by the Chamber of Deputies, which was eventually
cancelled (at the request of PSD and PNL).
Meanwhile, companies are suffering: the top ten companies
currently insolvent total 850 million euros in business and 10,000
employees. This year insolvency has been hitting manufacturing
companies such as Medeus, while last year those affected were
retail companies like Pic, Flamingo and K Tech Ultra Pro.
The Prime Minister's economic affairs advisor, Andreea Paul-Vass says that the Government's steps towards fighting the crisis target the economy in its entirety and not a specific ailing company. She says the new anti-crisis programme will not be publicly revealed until presented by Emil Boc to Parliament.
