Government delays salary hike to 2030

The article explains that Lebanon's 2027 budget project postpones salary increases for public sector employees until 2030, as no additional funding for wage hikes is included apart from the six salaries approved in March 2026. Budget figures indicate that the cost of employees will reach approximately 353.8 billion Lebanese pounds in 2027, representing a 12.6% increase from 2026. However, subsequent increases are limited to 5% annually until 2030, reflecting austerity measures and the imposition of strict financial constraints. The government justifies its reluctance to raise salaries by citing economic policy priorities, considering such increases unnecessary for fiscal stability. Meanwhile, it is accused of neglecting to improve the conditions of employees and of burdening them with the fallout from the financial and monetary crisis.
