According to data from the statistics office Statbel, inflation in Belgium rose from 3.18% in March to 3.37% in April. The smoothed health index (a four-month average which is used as the basis for indexation of pensions, social security benefits and some salaries and wages) reached 128.32 points, exceeding the threshold required to trigger automatic salary and benefit hikes. Because this index was surpassed in April, social benefits are set to be indexed up by 2% next month, while in two months' time public sector wages will also rise by 2%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcrm.etui.org\u002Fcivicrm\u002Fmailing\u002Furl?u=81390&qid=3358223\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcrm.etui.org\u002Fcivicrm\u002Fmailing\u002Furl?u=81390&qid=3358223\">\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\">in English…\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
