A memo from the Ministry of Finance sent out to ministries has asked them to provide “information on all the institutions overseen by [your] sector… as well as proposals for the merger or extinction of non-viable institutions, by means of integration within the direct administration of the state”. The memo, dated 26 February, asked for the information to be provided within 15 days of receipt.
