Argentina Implements 123% Pay Adjustment for 1,000+ Senior Officials Through June

The change corrects a long freeze by mirroring prior public‑sector bargains under a deficit‑triggered freeze.

Overview

  • The government is applying Decree 931/2025 to replicate public‑employee collective bargaining raises from 2024–2025, producing about a 123% cumulative increase between January and June 2026.
  • More than 1,000 senior officials qualify, from the chief of cabinet and ministers to secretaries, subsecretaries and agency heads.
  • Payroll sheets cited in the reporting show ministers’ gross pay rising in steps to roughly ARS 8,019,338 in May, to be paid in early June.
  • The measure excludes President Javier Milei and Vice President Victoria Villarruel, whose gross pay remains at about ARS 4,066,018 and ARS 3,764,821.
  • The decree includes an automatic freeze that halts further raises if official data show a cumulative financial fiscal deficit.
