An example of this is a whole package of decrees and orders (3 decrees and 8 orders) of a social orientation, signed by the head of state in 2019. This includes raising the minimum pension, minimum wage and teacher salary, paying citizens in connection with bad loans, raising public sector salaries, increasing scholarships and more.
1.6 billion manat was sent to resolve the issue with salaries of 3 million people. This is the first package. The second package will be implemented from September 1. Both social packages signed by the President will cover 4.2 million citizens, and 5.3 billion manat will be allocated for them.
