Provisional measure that readjusts the remuneration of federal public servants will benefit senior ministries
The MP (Provisional Measure) states that the salaries of federal public servants will benefit the top leadership of the Esplanada and Central Bank ministries from 2026 onwards. The salaries of the executive secretaries of the ministries and the president of the monetary authority are linked to the remuneration of ministers.
Currently, these positions receive 42.92% of the salary of a State minister, which according to the transparency portal is currently R$44,008.52. From 2026, this proportion will be 68.84% of ministerial remuneration. If the change occurred today, for example, the salary would increase from R$18,888.46 to R$30,295.47.
How are you:
- executive secretary of a ministry and president of the Central Bank receive 42.92% of a minister’s remuneration;
How it will look:
- executive secretary of a ministry and president of the Central Bank will receive 68.84% of a minister’s remuneration.
These data were presented by the Minister of Management and Innovation, Esther Dweck, on Monday (Dec 30, 2024). The MP with the change should be published in the next few days.
In practice, the final value of remuneration for senior civil servants will be higher in 2026, as they will follow adjustments in ministers’ salaries. In 2025, the remuneration of a State minister will be R$46,366.19.
The positions of national secretary, director and general coordinator in ministries will also benefit from the MP of the Ministry of Management and Innovation from 2026.
According to Dweck’s presentation, the MP, which brings together agreements signed with 38 categories of federal public servants, will have an impact of R$17.9 billion in 2025.
Of the total, R$16.2 billion affects the government’s primary result, while the rest refers to financial expenses, such as social security, which end up returning to the Union. This amount is included in the budget proposal that has not yet been voted on by the National Congress.
For 2026, the impact on the accounts will be R$8.5 billion, with R$8 billion impacting the primary result.
