Civil servants and military and police personnel will have their salary increased by 10 percent next year, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati says.
“In 2011, there will be a salary increase which will be slightly higher than the inflation rate, which is predicted to reach 5 percent. The hike will be 10 percent. This is for the sake of the welfare of civil servants, the Indonesian Military soldiers and police personnel,” Mulyani told governors and regents meeting to discuss development programs for 2011 at the Bidakara Hotel in South Jakarta on Wednesday.
Mulyani said the state apparatus would also receive the 13th month salary.
Pensioners will also enjoy the increase, the minister added.
“It has become our policy in the last five years [to raise salaries],” Mulyani said.
The government, she said, would allocate Rp 81.3 trillion for the remuneration of civil servants, military and police personnel, the recruitment of 100,000 new civil servants and for bureaucratic reforms.
