Faced with the ambiguity of article 15 of the 2026 Finance Law, several deputies, led by Yasser Gourari, propose setting a minimum ceiling for salary increases at 7% in the public and private sectors. This initiative aims to clarify the text and protect the purchasing power of civil servants.
An article deemed imprecise
Article 15 of the finance bill, which defines the rules for salary increases, has been criticized for its lack of precision. Yasser Gourari, MP behind the proposal, believes that this ambiguity could limit the impact of the increases and create inequalities between the different categories of civil servants.
Setting a minimum floor for salary increases
The proposed modification provides for a minimum increase of 7%, in reference to the latest salary reviews carried out in the public sector. This measure would ensure that all employees in the public and private sectors benefit from significant and equitable upgrading.
Yasser Gourari stressed that they are working to convince all deputies to support the proposal. The vote on this modification could define the effective level of remuneration for 2026 and constitute an important precedent for public sector salary policy.
The UGTT opposes unilateral fixation by decree
The UGTT reacted strongly to the finance bill, in particular to article 15, which provides that future salary increases be set by decree without consultation with the social partners.
The union considers this provision to be an attack on social dialogue and has raised the possibility of a general strike if the text is maintained as is. The deputy general secretary of the UGTT, Sami Tahri, denounced what he describes as “the definitive closure of social dialogue” and called for mobilization to protect workers’ rights.
