The first part of the raise will be applied as of January 1, 2012 or later in the first part of the year, said Boc.

Public pensions will be raised next year by 100% according to inflation and 50% of the gross average wage raise, he added.

In July 2010, the Government implemented harsh austerity measures to help the country step out of recession. Apart from a series of fiscal measures, the authorities reduced public sector employees’ salaries by 25%. In January 2011, their base salaries were hiked by 15%.
