Good news for civil servants. The government has decided to pay a mid-year Annual Variable Component (AVC) of 0.5 month plus S$300 in July 2010.

A statement from the Public Service Division said the July payout comes against a backdrop of Singapore’s continuing economic growth.

PSD said Singapore’s economic recovery has been stronger than expected as it grew by 15.5% on a year-on-year basis in the first quarter of 2010, compared to 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The mid-year payout announcement was applauded by civil servants.

The government will decide on the year-end AVC when Singapore’s economic performance in the second half of 2010 is clearer.
