The index is a key evaluation criterion for wage and salary negotiations and, in conjunction with other indices relating to wage and price trends, an important and up-to-date economic indicator. In May 2015 the index reached a value of 125.3 (provisional figure), 0.3% higher than the previous month. The rate of increase compared with May 2014 was 2.0%.
