PCB Enforces Salary Cap for SOE Executives as Part of Cost-Cutting Measures
The Privatisation and Corporatisation Board introduced a MVR 90,000 salary cap for senior executives of state-owned enterprises, effective from January 2024 for two years, as part of broader cost-cutting measures that include a 10% pay cut for political appointees and the dismissal of 228 political appointees. The government says the measures aim to curb rising national debt and address economic challenges.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
