The gross average salary can reach 300,000 forints even this year and in January it can exceed 310,000 forints – Simon Attila, Deputy Minister of State of the Ministry of National Economy (NGM) told M1 news channel on Wednesday.

Simon Attila welcomed that the employers not only recognized the importance of wage increases in retaining the workforce, but they also insisted to provide the amount covering it. One of the most important issues of last year’s wage agreement was whether businesses would be able to do it – he added. (MTI)
