Public sector salary in 2018 at least 700 BYN -- Labor Minister


According to the interview with Iryna Kastsevich, about 750 thousand public sector workers will see their wages rise. In the cultural sphere those will be librarians, guides, in the social sector — nurses and carers, social workers, etc.

On December 1, 2017 the average salary rose by 7% — by about 30 rubles.

Ms Kastsevich also spoke about the conservative and optimistic forecasts for the level of salaries in the public sector in 2018.

“In 2018, we also plan for the growth of wages in the public sector. We aim at the conservative scenario of 700 rubles. Obviously, if the economy exhibits an appropriate growth level, I think we can assure 760 rubles on average in the public sector,” said the Minister.
