The Union Government has decided to
increase the salary of civil servants across government sectors during the
cabinet meeting (7/2018) on 25 April.
The decision will take effect
starting April 2018, as stated in the official announcement made by the
Ministry of Planning and Finance yesterday.
The announcement stated the union
government considers civil servants and the defence service personnel (Army,
Navy and Air ) to play a crucial role in the development of the country, and
thus, as part of the efforts to promote their livelihoods, the union government
is making adjustments to their cost of living.
The announcement stated the annual
pay raises will continue as before, while the changes to pensions, fixed
salaries of department staff, daily wages, monthly support funds and payment
for expertise will be announced at a later date.
The announcement said the regulation
for salary range, pension and supplementary funds of the defence service
personnel will be submitted to the Defence Council, under the Ministry of
Defence. Foreign affairs civil servants carrying out their duties overseas will
continue to receive pay as per the current salary range in their respective host
country’s currency. Foreign affairs civil servants will receive the increased
salary range once they complete duties overseas and return to Myanmar.
The salary increase for civil
servants working in ministries and departments under the constitution is displayed
