State Budget 2027: Government plans to spend 1.231 billion euros more on public administration personnel
The government's 2027 State Budget proposal allocates an additional 1.231 billion euros for public sector personnel expenses, covering salary increases, career progressions, and the minimum wage hike. Current agreements suggest a 2.3% salary increase for 2027, but unions are demanding higher raises and increased food subsidies due to inflation concerns. The budget is scheduled for a general discussion and vote in Parliament on October 27–28, with the final global vote set for November 24, 2026.
Why it matters
This budget proposal marks the start of the formal legislative process for 2027, but no salary increases or tax changes are final yet; if you work in the public sector, watch the parliamentary debates in late October and late November to see if the government agrees to the higher demands made by unions.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
