ZAGREB, 27 April 2022 - Prime Minister Andrej Plenković said on Wednesday that net wages had risen by 32% since 2016 when he became Prime Minister, increasing from HRK 5,642 to HRK 7,352.
Commenting on Tuesday's meeting with trade unions, Plenković emphasised the government's commitment to social dialogue and recalled that the base pay in the public sector had not been raised from 2012 to 2016.
The increase is a consistent policy of our cabinet, Plenković said during today's meeting of the government.
Thus, the base pay has been increased on several occasions during the terms of his cabinets, or 18.31% on the aggregate.
