Macaus civil servants are set to get a salary increase soon.
A special committee created by the government to review the salaries of civil servants has already reached an agreement, and will now submit two proposals to the government.
The first proposal suggests a 5.6 percent increase while the second aims for a 6.5 percent increase.
Now it is up to the government to make the final decision.
Estimates say that the government will spend between MOP700 million (US$87.5 million) and MOP800 million with such increases.
Macaus inflation rate last year stood at 5.81 percent.
