Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican Council of Ministers approved today a reduction in the remunerations and the representation allowances of ministers, deputy ministers, state secretaries and deputies, among other holders and members of public bodies.<\/p>\n

The proposal also revises the remuneration of members of provincial parliaments, the provincial assemblies, which is at values \u201cquite higher than those of executive bodies at provincial and national level, as well as specialist professionals from various sectors of the State\u201d, contrary to the principle of wage justice, reads if in a statement.<\/p>\n

The amount of the reductions was not disclosed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis revision will improve the sustainability of the State wage bill and is in perfect alignment with the structural reforms that the Government has been implementing\u201d, justifies the executive, guaranteeing that he will keep the Single Salary Table (TSU) applicable to the rest of the public workers.<\/p>\n

The proposal approved by the Council of Ministers will be submitted to parliament in the coming days.<\/p>\n

One of the entities concerned with Mozambican public spending is the International Monetary Fund (IMF), through the financial program to support the country worth US$450 million (EUR 415 million) until 2025, approved a year ago.<\/p>\n

The IMF has already warned of the imbalances that a higher-than-expected wage bill could cause, which should lead to a review of some points of the program in order to keep it sustainable.<\/p>\n

The review is expected to lead to the third IMF disbursement under the program, amounting to around $70 million (\u20ac65 million).<\/p>\n

The TSU was approved in 2022 in order to eliminate asymmetries and keep the State\u2019s wage bill under control in the medium term, but the start-up caused wages to skyrocket by around 36%, from 11.6 billion meticais\/month (169 million euros\/month) to 15.8 billion meticais\/month (231 million euros\/month).<\/p>\n

In January, the Government announced corrective measures, complemented by today\u2019s announcement, and a complementary audit is still underway.<\/p>\n
