"The rate of wage growth remains relatively high due to the effect of last year’s indexation on this year’s indicators and the relatively low average annual inflation," the report states.
The fastest wage growth is observed in the services sector, particularly in trade (+24.6%), transportation (+20.6%), and information and communications (+23.2%).
However, wage growth in the construction sector has been declining since the second half of last year.
