Zimbabwe is to increase public sector workers' pay by 10%, starting in July. The Apex Council, which represents all public sector workers, confirmed the agreed increase to news agency Reuters on Tuesday.
A day earlier, teachers shelved protest plans after receiving news of the planned pay bump.
The promise from new President Emmerson Mnangagwa comes months before a planned election, and in the wake of a strike by the country's doctors and nurses.
The pay rise, however, is only a fraction of what workers had demanded: a 100% increase.
Even so, any rise will likely increase the country's budget deficit, Reuters noted.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revealed Zimbabwe, along with five other African countries, was in "debt distress" at the end of last year.
