The Prime Minister announced that the final decision concerning salary compensation will be unveiled tomorrow following approval of the Cabinet.<\/p><p>Dr Ramgoolam outlined the pressing economic challenges facing the country and stressed that this year\u2019s compensation must be aligned with current realities. He recalled that, despite constraints last year, Government ensured the payment of salary compensation as well as a special allowance for employees earning up to Rs 50,000 monthly.<\/p><p>Citing Statistics Mauritius, the Prime Minister noted that inflation stands at 3.7%. He also highlighted continued pressure from Moody\u2019s for Mauritius to strengthen its credit rating. While acknowledging Government\u2019s efforts to reduce public debt from over 90% to 89%, Moody\u2019s urged further progress, he said.<\/p><p>Dr Ramgoolam pointed out that Mauritius currently holds a Baa3 rating and cautioned that a one-notch downgrade would push the country into junk status. He reaffirmed Government\u2019s commitment to reducing debt and supporting economic recovery<\/p><p><span class=\"fontSizeMedium\">Government Information Service, Prime Minister\u2019s Office, Level 6, New Government Centre, Port Louis, Mauritius.
