Muscat: Oman’s Sultan Qaboos Bin Said has ordered pay increases of up to 43 per cent for state workers, the official Omani News Agency reported on Saturday.
The move is seen to combat inflation in Oman, which has spiked to 7.57 per cent in November—its highest in at least 16 years.
The Omani ruler also ordered subsidy for wheat price and a government committee to "put in place a tight mechanism to curb increases in rents", the agency reported.
The wages rise takes effect this month.
