There will be a definite salary increase for government sector employees, including teachers, by next year, Deputy Minister of Economic Development Anil Jayantha Fernando said.
Addressing the media, he said that the full details of the salary increments will be included in the 2025 budget proposals.
“We are working to increase the salaries of state employees not for political gain, but because everyone knows that people are facing significant hardships with the current economic situation in the country. The existing salaries are insufficient,†he explained.
Fernando also said that a salary increase is an urgent necessity.
“As we all know, the country’s economy was severely damaged by the previous government. As a responsible administration, we cannot simply tell people to tighten their belts and wait until 2026. We are not taking such an approach,†he said.
“Therefore, people can hold onto the hope of a definite salary increase by next year,†Fernando added.
