“The increase in wages in 2023 was influenced by an increase in the base salary for state politicians, judges, state officials, civil servants, and employees of budget institutions, an increase in the minimum monthly salary, changes in the procedure for calculating the non-taxable income, and other reasons,” the agency said.
In the public sector, average pre-tax salaries stood at 2,100 euros, up by 13.1 percent, while in the private sector, they stood at 1,970 euros, up by 12.4 percent.
