Romanian employees' net salaries went up over 20% in the tobacco industry and in IT in February against the similar period of last year, with two-digit increases (between 14 and 17%) also recorded for editing activities and for drink manufacturers, show data published yesterday by the National Statistics Institute (INS).
According to statistics, the best-paid employees in the economy - those in the tobacco industry and bankers - boasted the highest salary increases in the past year, but representatives of companies in those sectors do not confirm these increases. A possible explanation is that the INS calculates the average salary by considering overall salaries against the number of employees. A possible salary increase can be explained in the case of companies that operated redundancies in the past year by them keeping the same value of overall salaries.
"We don't know what the sources of the INS are, but what we can say is that the data do not reflect the situation at JTI. The salary increases in the company were along the level of those made by multinationals in the FMCG sector," said Gilda Lazăr, corporate affairs manager of cigarette manufacturer Japan Tobacco International Romania, which currently employs around 850.
