DTQ 2 PL 1466/2025 | Salary Increase for Public Servants | House of Representatives

Bill No. 1,466 of 2025 proposes a salary adjustment for various categories of federal public servants. The measure was presented amidst the government's administrative restructuring process and discussions about the fiscal space available in the Union's budget.

The project has generated debate in the National Congress and among public finance experts. It is argued that, in a scenario of high fiscal deficit and pressure for budgetary responsibility, the increase in personnel expenses could compromise the balance of public accounts and limit investments in other essential areas.

Furthermore, there are questions regarding the lack of meritocracy and performance criteria in granting salary adjustments, which could reinforce internal inequalities within the public service and discourage the pursuit of efficiency and administrative modernization.
