The base salary of all public service staff groups will receive a general 10% adjustment starting this month to address purchasing power, according to Presidential Decree No. 16/26 of 22 January, published yesterday in the Diário da República.
The decree, which repeals Presidential Decree No. 39/25 of 13 February, notes that the measure was taken to restore the purchasing power of public servants and administrative agents.
The measure also aims to enhance their dignity and ensure continuous improvement in the quality of public services provided to citizens, in line with the Roadmap for the Implementation of the New Remuneration Framework of the Public Administration (RINAR).
It is also expected to contribute to stimulating consumption, investment, and job creation, thereby improving citizens’ living conditions and strengthening the national economy.
For example, the decree specifies that the base salary indexed at 100 will increase by 10%, rising to 258,676.59 kwanzas for holders of management and leadership positions, and similarly to 60,318.31 kwanzas for technical staff.
Likewise, the base salary indexed at 100 for non-technical staff will increase by 10%, reaching 24,474.32 kwanzas.
The decree further states that the same 10% increase will apply to the base salary indexed at 100 for general officers in the active cadre of the Angolan Armed Forces, which will rise to 543,085.68 kwanzas.
Military doctors and healthcare personnel may choose to follow the remuneration regime applicable to their civilian counterparts in the Health sector professional careers.
The decree highlights that institutions and services that, due to the nature of their functions or their organic and financial autonomy, are not covered by this measure must adjust their respective salary tables within the limits set by the 2026 State General Budget.
It also specifies that adjustments for base salaries of sovereign bodies not covered by this measure must be addressed in a separate decree, within the budgetary limits established by Law No. 14/25 of 30 December, which approves the 2026 State Budget.
Salary Processing
The decree emphasizes that the processing of salaries for public service staff and administrative agents must be carried out using a computerized system provided by the ministry responsible for public finances, with payment made via the banking system.
Without prejudice to the regime applicable to employees and administrative agents exempt from working hours, the decree highlights that human resources departments of central and local public administration bodies—civil and non-civil—must monitor staff attendance, ensuring compliance with the Public Service Labour Regime.
