Promotion, advancement and career changes subject to budget availability, warns Finance Minister

Promoção, progressão e mudança de carreiras condicionadas a disponibilidade orçamental, alerta Ministra das Finanças

The Minister of Finance, Carla Loveira, said on Thursday at the Assembly of the Republic in Maputo that the resumption of administrative acts in the civil service is dependent on the availability of funds in the state coffers for this purpose.

In his speech, he recalled that the government had suspended the administrative acts of promotion, progression and career change in 2022. The aim was to ensure better management of the process of bringing state employees and agents into line with the Single Wage Scale (TSU) and to allow for stabilization and control of the wage bill, he explained.

“With the suspension of the administrative acts, we wanted to ensure compliance with one of the dictates of the Single Wage Scale (TSU) Law, namely the regulation of the career and remuneration system and the respective professional qualifiers,” he argued.

For the finance minister, with the change in the remuneration system in the Public Administration, the salary levels established in the TSU were harmonized with the Professional Qualifiers and the minimum and maximum levels of careers and professional categories were defined, as well as the criteria for progression in the TSU, in order to organize and structure the careers and remunerations of state employees and agents.

In fact, according to the minister, this year, through Decree no. 36/2025 of October 28, the Regulation of the Careers and Remuneration Subsystem and the respective Professional Qualifiers were approved, thus creating the conditions for the practice of administrative acts of promotion, progression and career change, and the resumption is subject to budgetary availability, under the terms of articles 54, 55 and 56 of Law no. 4/2022 of February 11, which approves the General Statute of State Officials and Agents.
