The average net salary in the banking system was RON 3,026 (some €820) on 1 October 2008, close to the December 2006 level of RON 3,002 (some €880 at that time). Meanwhile, the number of employees in the system rose to over 71,500 from 58,000, with most of these working in territorial bank branches.
“Banks recruited many employees for entry-level positions in the past two years, whose monthly salaries do not exceed RON 1,200-1,800 [approximately €317-476]. But salaries have increased, even doubled for management positions and specialists in the past two years,” said Alexandru Talmazan, Managing Partner of the Wrightson Romania human resource company.
