Real wages in Hungary have risen by almost 40% over the past five years largely thanks to the wage deal reached between the government and employers in 2016, according to the business daily Világgazdaság.
Since 2013, wages have seen the longest sustained growth since the change in political system in 1989-1990.
Last November, full-time employees earned 438,200 forints (EUR 1,220) before tax, 9.6% more than a year earlier, while the increase in salaries in real terms last year may have reached 6%.
