Maintaining automatic wage indexation

15/05/2026
In brief

Automatic wage indexation is being maintained, but better targeted to primarily protect low and middle incomes. Wages will be fully indexed up to 4,000 euros gross, while amounts above that will not be. For social benefits, indexation will be limited to 2,000 euros gross. This modulation helps preserve most purchasing power while keeping public spending and labour costs under control. It also helps ensure that work remains more rewarding than inactivity. Ministers' and MPs' salaries, however, will not be indexed until the end of the legislature.

  • Government: Federal Government
  • Minister: David Clarinval
  • Stage: Adopted in Parliament
