The Executive Council on Tuesday approved pay rises of 4.51 percent for low and middle-ranking civil servants, and a 4.06 percent increase for senior staff.

The rises will be backdated to April this year and are the same as those proposed by the Civil Service Bureau, based on a private pay trend survey.

In a statement, the Executive Council said it arrived at the decision after thoroughly considering staff responses and other relevant factors, such as changes in the cost of living and workers' morale.

The government will submit the pay rise proposal to Legco for approval.
