Significant decrease in the average net wage in Macedonia


The average monthly net salary paid per employee in February 2018 was MKD 23,158. This is a significant decrease compared to the previous month, January when the State Statistical Office reported that the average net salary amounted to MKD 24,025.

The Ministry of Finance fell short of explaining the reason for this serious decrease in the average salary of over MKD 850 or somewhere around 3.5%.

Last month, at a press conference, the Ministry of Finance said that the average salary went over MKD 24,000.
