Cyprus state budget for 2027 outlines salary increases for judicial and independent officials

The 2027 state budget of Cyprus, unveiled on October 16, 2026, introduces a revised salary structure for the state apparatus. While the pay for political figures including the President, ministers, and members of parliament remains frozen at 2026 levels, significant increases are designated for the judiciary and specific independent authorities.

The highest salary adjustment is a raise of €1,894, which applies to the leadership of the Law Office and the highest courts. This category specifically includes the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, and the presidents and judges of both the Supreme Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court. A broader category of officials, including those within the appellate judiciary, independent commissions, and security services, will receive salary increases ranging from €1,231 to €1,672.

This decision marks a divergence in compensation policy between elected political officials and appointed senior judicial or oversight personnel. The budget measures are intended to adjust the remuneration scales across the government, reflecting a strategic allocation of state resources favoring the judicial and independent institutional branches over purely political offices.
