Staff members in Saxony have seen a substantial increase in their stock market funds: There was a 3.1% rise in real wages during the initial three months of the year compared to the corresponding period in 2021, as revealed by the Statistical State Office on Wednesday. This boost in real wages could be credited to the rise in nominal wages, which were 6.2% higher than in the previous year's quarter. Particularly influential in this surge were the inflation compensation payments. On top of that, the inflation rate plummeted to 2.9% compared to the last year's quarter. It stood at 4.2% in the preceding three months.
From October 26, 2022, to December 31, 2024, employers have the opportunity to bestow their employees with the tax- and duty-free inflation compensation payment, reaching a maximum of 3,000 euros. This extra allowance is among the anti-inflation measures rolled out by the federal government.
