The Minister of Finance, Sinisa Mali, announced that on September 22, pensioners will be paid 50 euros of state aid, while with all the increases, the average salary next year will be 670 euros.
As a guest on TV Prva, Mali exclusively revealed that in November, all citizens will receive 30 euros, in December another 20, while at the beginning of next year, pensioners will be paid another 180 euros.
He also spoke about earnings in the country, as well as about the recent meeting of the Social and Economic Council.
“We had a meeting of the Social and Economic Council and the numbers show that we are moving forward. We came out with a proposal that the minimum wage from January be 300 euros. The minimum wage is growing three times faster than the GDP,” said Mali, who pointed out that the minimum price of labor and the coverage of the consumer basket are growing rapidly.
He expressed his belief that by the end of 2023, the minimum consumer basket and the minimum wage should be equalized.
“Currently, seven highways, hospitals, railways are being built in Serbia, they have never been built again, salaries and pensions have never been higher,” said Mali.
He said that the GDP growth rate this year will be at least 6.5 percent.
“Apart from going with the increase of the minimum wage, we are also going with relieving the burden on wages. We will increase the non-taxable part of salaries to 170 euros, instead of the previous 160 euros,” announced the Minister of Finance and explained that the minimum salary is the main driver and affects the level of average salary in Serbia, BizLife reports.
