The interim government has initiated the formulation of a new national pay scale for government officers and employees, with the process led by a dedicated pay commission. In a significant development, the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) announced that it is preparing a proposal to include private-sector salary recommendations in the same commission. FBCCI Secretary General Md. Alamgir stated that the proposal, to be submitted soon, suggests setting a minimum monthly salary between Tk 25,000 and Tk 30,000 for all workers to ensure a humane standard of living. The government has confirmed that the pay commission’s work is progressing, and the final report will be submitted within the scheduled timeframe. Early indications suggest government salaries may nearly double. Alamgir emphasized that wages should uphold human dignity, reduce inequality, and prevent corruption across both public and private sectors.
