Chan Chun Sing on wage adjustments for civil servants to offset inflation pressure
The Civil Service periodically reviews salaries and adjusts them where necessary to keep pace with, but not lead, the market. In total, the salary increases arising from the recent salary reviews and annual salary increments, coupled with the Annual Variable Component payments, will more than exceed the inflation rate this year for all the civil servants who meet the criteria. The Government has also rolled out a series of support measures this year to help cushion the impact of sharp inflation changes and provide further relief for Singaporean households. Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing gave this update in reply to an MP's question in Parliament on Monday (Nov 28).
