From now on, we will maintain purchasing power or even increase the purchasing power of salaries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The government of President Jair Bolsonaro, who seeks reelection in October but trails former leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in opinion polls, set aside 14.2 billion reais ($2.76 billion) to finance higher wages for public servants in the 2023 budget bill sent to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal did not specify the adjustment percentage or which public servants and professions were being considered for wage increases. The government has been under  intense pressure by public servants for a wage increase as inflation eroded their purchasing power in Latin America\u2019s largest economy.<\/p>\n<p>The budget bill projected no gains on minimum wages beyond inflation. <\/p>\n<p>During the event, Guedes also said Bolsonaro\u2019s government this year intends to privatize Santos Port \u2013 the largest in Latin America \u2013 after setting the minimum price of 3.015 billion reais ($586.32 million) for the privatization auction on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>($1 = 5.1425 reais)<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Marcela Ayres; Editing by Leslie Adler)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/brazils-economy-minister-guedes\/file-photo-brazils-economy-minister-paulo-guedes-gestures-during-a\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8J16I-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8J16I-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BRASILIA (Reuters) \u2013 Brazilian Economy Minister Paulo Guedes said on Tuesday that efficiency gains by the government will allow for salaries to be increased after years of no meaningful hike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1649810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1649810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1649810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1649810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1649810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1649810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1649810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
