Wage indexation on 1 June 2026

According to preliminary results published by STATEC, the annual inflation rate of the national consumer price index (IPCN) stands at 2.3% for the month of May 2026. With this result, the half-yearly average of the index linked to the base 1.1.1948 for May exceeds the threshold of 1,038.79 points, triggering a new wage indexation.

The new application rate for the sliding wage scale[1] of 992.24 points (previous rate: 968.04 points) will come into effect on 1 June 2026, resulting in a 2.5% increase in wages, salaries and pensions from that date.

The final and detailed results of the national consumer price index for May will be published on 3 June, following the monthly meeting of the Consumer Price Index Commission.

[1] The provisions governing the sliding scale wage system for all employees and pensioners are set out in Article 3 of the amended law of 25 March 2015 establishing the salary system and the conditions and procedures for promotion of civil servants.
