Syrian President orders 200% salary increase for all state employees
Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa issued a decree on June 19 mandating a 200 percent salary and wage increase for all state employees. The raise covers both civilian and military personnel working in ministries, public institutions, and government-owned companies, as well as units and entities in the mixed sector where the state owns at least 50 percent of the capital, according to an official statement from the presidency. The increase also applies to temporary, daily, seasonal, contracted, part-time, and piece-rate workers, including agents, casual workers, and those employed under administrative contracts or usage agreements. The decree stipulates that the raise will automatically apply to contracted Syrian workers and those in equivalent positions, provided their contracted wages do not exceed the monthly salaries of their permanent counterparts holding similar qualifications within the same public entity. This decision is part of broader government measures aimed at improving citizens' living standards amid current economic challenges.
