BRASILIA (Reuters) – The Brazilian government has not yet decided on a salary increase for public servants this year, said Special Treasury and Budget Secretary Esteves Colnago, stressing that an across-the-board 5% wage increase is one of the proposals on the table.

Speaking at a press conference, Colnago also said that automatic minimum wage adjustment to compensate for inflation is a rule that should be looked at more carefully. The Congress – not an automatic rule – should decide on the matter, he added.
