Within this universe, the national public administration concentrated 204,323 positions, while the rest corresponded to companies and state societies (95,253 employees). Most of the reduction occurred in decentralized administration and state-owned companies.
The universe of reporting entities in January 2025 decreased from 134 to 133 as the General Administration of Ports (AGP SAU), a state society dependent on the Ministry of Economy, was dissolved by Decree 3/2025. This decree also created the National Agency of Ports and Navigation (ANPYN) as an autonomous entity operating within the scope of the Ministry of Economy.
At the time of closing this report, its staffing as an independent entity was not available.
