Salaries, pensions will grow more than inflation

Belgrade, 13 November 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic announced today an increase in salaries in the public sector and an increase in pensions by 12.1 percent from 1 January next year, and pointed out that salaries and pensions will grow significantly more than inflation.

In a guest appearance on Television Prva, Brnabic said that without any announcements of restrictions, we entered this difficult winter safely, with the continuous growth of salaries, pensions and the minimum wage.

We achieved the continuous growth of wages, pensions and the minimum wage by taking over the payment from the budget, we raised the non-taxable part of the income, in that way we reduced both the tax and took over that cost, explained the Prime Minister.

Speaking about the situation related to the introduction of sanctions against Russia, she recalled that the conclusion of the Security Council of Serbia had remained unchanged for nine months and that the heaviest pressures were on the plan that all investors from Serbia would be withdrawn, which we managed to prevent.

Foreign investors came because they need stability when it comes to the price of energy, the Prime Minister pointed out.

The stability of Serbia, as she stated, is reflected in the fact that we have the cheapest gas, which is cheaper for industry only in Hungary, and when it comes to electricity, it is cheaper for industry in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
