Public servants may be in line for a double-digit pay increase this year.

Briefing the media at Parliament on Tuesday, Public Service and Administration Minister Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi said the current wage agreement stipulated an increase of CPIX plus one percent.

The CPIX, or consumer price index excluding bond costs, was pegged at 10.1 percent in March this year.

"There is agreement that we have reached, which is the multi-term [wage] agreement... that says we need to look at an increase that is CPIX plus one percent for this year.

"This is clearly a matter that we need to consider, and we will resolve it accordingly," Fraser-Moleketi said.

She was responding to a question on whether public servants' expectations of a double-digit wage increase were realistic.
