Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The International Monetary Fund (IMF) representative in Mozambique, Alexis Meyer-Cirkel, said yesterday that he hoped Mozambique would remain committed to carrying out reforms, despite challenges to the Single Salary Table (TSU).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has a very broad basket of reforms and the expectation is that it will be maintained,\u201d Meyer-Cirkel said in response to a question from Lusa about the effect of the protests on the sidelines of a presentation in Maputo.<\/p>\n

The TSU, just one of such reforms, was implemented in October by the government to simplify, clarify and re-balance payments in the civil service, but several professions have complained about framing errors, loss of subsidies and salary reduction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been following the protests in the newspapers, though I don\u2019t know the details of the claims,\u201d said the IMF representative, admitting that \u201cthe complexity of the reforms\u201d might \u201craise issues\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the government is carrying out the whole exercise to try to clarify the spirit of the [TSU] reform and resolve any difficulties which arise. I do not see this as out of the ordinary,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meyer-Cirkel believes in the TSU\u2019s virtue of \u201csimplifying the State\u2019s salary scale\u201d, introducing \u201cclearer criteria\u201d of classification, and stimulating \u201cincreased effectiveness\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past,\u201d the IMF representative stressed, \u201cthere has been a very strong increase in expenditure on wages, and it is very important that, in the long term, this dynamic is contained\u201d.<\/p>\n

The memorandum with the government underpinning the US$470 million IMF support programme stipulates that Mozambique should, over the next four years, reduce public sector wages from 13.8% to 10.8% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).<\/p>\n

In May, days after the agreement with the IMF, the Mozambican president admitted that the financial assistance programme would \u201churt a little\u201d, while emphasising that \u201csomething needs to be done\u201d, instead of \u201cwaiting\u201d.<\/p>\n

Doctors and teachers have most visibly challenged the TSU, while the government has created a commission that will work for a year to resolve every complaint from civil servants about the new table within 15 days.<\/p>\n

The doctors had scheduled a strike for today, but it was provisionally postponed as a result of advances in the negotiations.<\/p>\n

The memorandum between the Mozambican executive and the IMF provides for other reforms, too.<\/p>\n
