Syria’s Autonomous Administration to increase salaries by 25-30%

RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – An official in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) said, Thursday, that the administration will increase the salaries of workers in its institutions by between 25 to 30%.

The official, who declined to be named, added that the salary increase will be in April, according to the Autonomous Administration’s plan.

For more than a year, Syrian currency has been witnessing a serious deterioration in its value against the dollar, as the Syrian pound (SYP) recorded the lowest level in its history against foreign currencies after the US dollar exceeded 4,700 Syrian pounds on Thursday.

In June, the AANES improved a 150% increase of the salaries of all its employees.
