Overview

  • The decree will cover ministers, secretaries and subsecretaries, with the presidency and Vice President Victoria Villarruel excluded, according to Casa Rosada sources.
  • Publication is expected in the Boletín Oficial on Friday when government activity resumes after the holidays, as reported by local media.
  • Increases will mirror SINEP/UPCN collective agreements and are expected to leave officials’ pay about 30% below accumulated inflation, according to sources.
  • Officials’ salaries have lost roughly 60% of purchasing power since December 2023, a shortfall the government cites in arguing for partial recomposition.
  • Current monthly pay before the adjustment is reported at $4,066,018 for the president, $3,764,820 for the vice president, $3,584,006 for ministers, $3,282,709 for secretaries and about $2,981,510 for subsecretaries.
