- The number of higher authorities (ministers, secretaries and undersecretaries) was reduced by 33%.
- More than 250 areas of the State were closed (national directorates, simple directorates, coordinations, etc.). In the short term they could reach 400.
- The number of employees in the administration and public companies has been reduced by more than 30,000 since December of last year, 7.8% (excluding security forces). The Argentine Post Office, for example, went from 17,000 to 12,000 employees, approximately.

- The Government’s objective is to make the State smaller and more efficient and rescue the concept of “public servant.”
- Each area of the State is analyzed under three parameters: whether it belongs to the National administration, whether it corresponds to the provinces or municipalities or whether it should be in the private sphere.
- The situation of the decentralized organizations, which number more than 100, is analyzed. Some will be closed and others merged. The Government observed that many of them were losing their reason for being. Others will not be affected, such as INDEC.

Thus, for 6 to 12 months they continue to receive their salary. Once the corresponding period has expired, personnel who cannot be relocated will be dismissed with payment of compensation.
