The results of the discussion remain unknown. Amgalanbaatar Khayankhyarvaa, President of the Confederation of Mongolian Trade Union, noted “According to the 2018 budget, salaries of 182 public servants accounted for 18 percent of total expenditure with MNT 1.7 trillion. This equals 24.1 percent of the current expenditure. About 50 percent wage raise would equal around MNT 900 billion.” Mr.Chinzorig also highlighted that tax revenue grew by about 30 percent in the first seven months of 2018, and as a result, the budget revenue has been reportedly overperformed by over 40 percent. “The Cabinet previously announced that pay raise will be re-discussed in the fourth quarter if budget situation improves. However, the temporary Committee on Increasing Teachers’ Salaries demanded 50 percent salary raise before the third quarter and announced to go on a strike if the Government fails to fulfil their demand.”
