The spokesman for the Government of National Unity (GNA) announced that the government has decided to increase public sector wages by 20 percent to enable Libyans to cope with rising inflation.
The spokesman said the decision was taken after a Ministerial Council and concerns all public sectors in all regions of the country.
It should be noted that the Central Bank announced that oil and gas revenues from January to November last year reached 2,409 billion Libyan dinars (1.8 billion dollars), while spending on public sector wages reached 8,024 billion dinars. For its part, the National Oil Corporation has suspended the transfer of oil revenues to the Central Bank pending the implementation of a political agreement reached in a UN-led process.
