BANCO CENTRAL DO BRASIL – FOCUS
November 1, 1999
The Ministry of Budget and Management (MOG) has announced the results of
the Personnel Management Program (PGP) launched by Provisional Measure nº
1917, of July 29 and regulated by Presidential Decree nº 3151, of August 23, 1999.
This initiative is part of the fiscal stabilization programs aiming at the reduction of
payroll expenditures of the central government, its autarchies (including the Central
Bank) and foundations. The program terminated on September 3, 1999. Closing
numbers indicate that the total voluntary participants in the program reached 6,329, out
of a total of 510,935 active federal civil servants, amounting to an expenditure reduction
of R$ 95 million per year. The program reached 5,733 employees through the voluntary
dismissal program (PDV), 318 asked for a leave of absence for private purposes
without remuneration, and 278 were accepted in the working hours reduction program
with corresponding salary cuts. PDV statistics broken down by states are shown in the
table below:
The state of Rio de Janeiro which houses the largest concentration of federal civil
servants, with 21% of the total, shared 19% participation in the PGP. Brasilia which
holds the second largest concentration, with 9.12% of the total, participated with 12.3%
in the PDV.
The Government has started negotiations with state governors to stimulate
reductions in personnel in the units of the Brazilian Federation. States willing to
establish Personnel Management Programs might be eligible to benefit from
reductions in their debt amortization commitments over net revenues settled on
in debt renegotiations agreements with the National Treasury.
