flag Singapore to raise civil servant pay by 2%–9% starting Aug. 1, 2026, to match market rates and improve retention.

flag About 22,000 Singapore civil servants will receive salary increases from 2% to 9% starting August 1, 2026, as part of a pay review to align public sector wages with market standards. flag The adjustments apply to officers in several schemes, including technical, management, corporate, and operations support, with higher increases for grades with larger pay gaps. flag Officers in the Management Executive Scheme with competitive salaries will not receive raises. flag The changes, the first since 2022, aim to support recruitment and retention amid global challenges and reflect growing work demands. flag The Public Service Division said the move follows consultations with unions and is part of broader efforts to strengthen performance rewards and career development.
