Two-month salary cut for senior govt officials
Earlier, the government said that due to the current economic conditions and the need for careful use of resources, it is necessary to reduce government spending and limit energy consumption in public institutions.
As part of these measures, the government decided to cut the salaries of senior management in government and semi-government institutions for two months.
The salary cut will affect officials holding senior positions such as chief executive officers, executive directors, directors, and senior administrators.
