Overview

  • The president will sign the decree today, with publication scheduled for Friday 2 January in the Boletín Oficial.
  • The recomposition will cover ministers, secretaries and subsecretaries, explicitly excluding Javier Milei and Vice President Victoria Villarruel.
  • The adjustment is expected to track SINEP/UPCN paritarias, with exact percentages undisclosed, and officials say resulting pay will still trail cumulative inflation by roughly 30%.
  • Government sources estimate hierarchical salaries lost about 60% of purchasing power since December 2023, citing retention challenges versus the private sector.
  • This is the first update since the 2023 freeze and the annulled raises of March 2024; current gross pay before any change is President $4,066,018, Vice President $3,764,820, ministers $3,584,006, secretaries $3,282,709, and subsecretaries $2,981,513.
