Angolan government said the country has money to pay salaries and other strategic expenses until the end of the current year.
This was confirmed by Secretary of State for Finance and Treasury, Ottoniel dos Santos, at a press conference of the Economic Commission.
The official added that in addition to salaries expense, there are conditions for payment of public debt service and other essentials, such as health, education (scholarship holders) and subsidies for veterans and former combatants.
In turn, the Minister of State for Economic Affairs, José de Lima Massano, reiterated the government commitment to pay the salaries of civil servants at the national level and in due time.
He recalled that the executive had paid the salaries in the month of June, without any delay, and that this month of July would not be different.
The Friday’s session of the Economic Commission of the Cabinet Council, chaired by the President João Lourenço, approved several emergency economic measures to address the cost of living in the country.
