What the national ranking of directors' salaries and board members' allowances looks like for 143 companies, kings and state institutions / You can search for institutions and people's names

Compensation from the Boards of Directors (CA) and Supervisory Boards (SC) of public entities in Romania, for the first 65 state institutions, starts from 14,000 euros gross monthly for each member of the CA and does not go below 2,000 euros, according to official databases consulted by HotNews and reported in August 2025.

They are only the base amounts, to which other bonuses can be added

The data you can find here for 143 state institutions requires the following clarifications:

1. The first chart contains directors' compensation.
2. The second graph contains the allowances of members of the CA and CS.
3. On the third graph you can search for each institution, displaying the names of the directors and people from the CA or CS.
4. Amounts in all charts are gross (taxable) and updated to August 2025.
5. All amounts for both directors and board members are a starting point only. That means there may be other extras that add to the income. The pluses are increasingly offered by each company depending on internal rules or employment contracts.
6. Pluses can also be added for other increments, which do not depend on the company, but on legislation: such as increments for doctorates or seniority.
