Our reading
The State imposes shrinking on itself: only one hire for every two departures throughout 2026, with the State's staffing reducing by natural attrition. It is pure fiscal anchor (R1/R6): less personnel spending sustains the surplus that gives rule stability (R3 · stability → long-term investment) to the investor. What is worth watching is not the Executive's will —which renews the rule year by year by decree— but its real scope: the hiring suspension is a firm rule, but the magnitude of the aggregate staffing cut is not yet quantified with an official source. thesis
