The National Association of Hungarian Trade Unions commissioned a survey among small and medium sized enterprises, to find out what minimum wage level the company managers expect and deem acceptable. The absolute majority of company managers (88%) deem that the amount of the minimum wage will grow, moreover, 60% of them reckon that it will grow over 100 thousand forints per month. This would mean a real wage growth among those earning the least, to an extent beyond the estimated next yearly inflation rate.
