Credited from: SCMP

  • Millions of Chinese civil servants will receive a long-awaited pay increase before the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday.
  • The increase amounts to between 300 and 500 yuan (approximately US$41 to US$69), effective this month; however, the figures will vary based on location and position.
  • Despite the pay rise, many civil servants feel it does not fully compensate for previous pay cuts experienced over the past few years.
  • Experts believe this move may be part of Beijing's strategy to stimulate consumption and increase overall income within the economy.
  • Quality of the raise remains uncertain, as previous adjustments often led to inflationary impacts nullifying real salary gains.
