The salary increase of the Ethiopian govt employees has been delayed. It was expected to be implemented this month. Reportedly, it has been delayed indefinitely
The government announced last month that salary increase will be implemented from October. The salary increase was announced after massive devaluation of birr, Ethiopian currency.
The worth of birr against US dollar fell significantly in the last 3 months. The decline in the value of birr began after the Ethiopian government implemented macro economic reforms and liberalized foreign exchange market.
According to some government officials, the salary increase has been delayed because of the need for time required to compile the information of the employees. The government employees have not yet received an official letter informing them of increase in their salaries..
Some sources say that the government is planning to link salary increase to competency exam which was held recently.
