Due to a prolonged impasse between an employer organization and the former Minister of General Affairs, SER was left without an appointed Board from April 2023 to August 2024, resulting in a 16-month operational delay. Consequently, all advisory requests submitted by the Government to the SER prior to April 2023 were placed on hold by the Secretary-General of the SER, pending the reinstatement of the Board. As a result, no advisory reports were published in the year 2024 by the institution.

You are kindly referred to click on the 2025 tab for the continuation of the SER’s advisory report publications. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
