When the state is the property of the people. Not the oligarchy

Leaders of Iranian state banks want to judge for too high salaries

In Iran, 397 heads of state-controlled banks are being sued because of their excessively high salaries, RIA Novosti reports.

During the investigation it was found out that some heads of state banks earn about 622 million Iranian rials ($ 20,000) a month, while the average salary of a civil servant in the Islamic Republic is $ 400.

In this regard, the speaker of the Iranian parliament Ali Larijani said that it is necessary to carry out fundamental reforms to prevent individuals from enriching themselves at the expense of the public sector.
He also said that about 50 billion riyals had already been returned to the Iranian treasury, which were spent on inordinately large salaries of officials.



The agency AFP recalls that the scandal over the salaries of officials in Iran began in May 2016, when the press appeared denouncing articles. According to the data released at the time, the head of one of the state-owned banks in Iran received $ 60,000 a month, albeit with bonuses. As a result of the scandal, authorities dismissed several heads of state companies, and all heads of the state investment fund also resigned.

After that, the government set the upper level of salaries in the public sector at 189 million riyals, and for officials who perform political functions, the border was set at 100 million riyals.
