2016-17 civil service pay adjustment
************************************

     The Civil Service Bureau announced today (June 14) that the Acting Chief Executive-in-Council (CE-in-Council) has decided that civil service pay for 2016-17 should be adjusted by:

(a) a pay increase of 4.68 per cent for civil servants in the lower and middle salary bands (equal to the net pay trend indicator (PTI) for the middle salary band); and

(b) a pay increase of 4.19 per cent for civil servants in the upper salary band and the directorate (equal to the net PTI for the upper salary band).

     The above pay adjustment will take retrospective effect from April 1, 2016.

     The above decision was made by the Acting CE-in-Council after considering the staff sides' responses to the pay offers and all relevant factors under the established mechanism, including:

* the net PTIs
* the state of Hong Kong's economy
* changes in the cost of living
* the Government's fiscal position
* the staff sides' pay claims
* civil service morale

     The Government will submit the 2016-17 civil service pay adjustment proposal to the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council for consideration and approval as soon as practicable.
