This indicator measures the year-over-year change in average wages in Russia after adjusting for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). It provides a clear picture of the actual purchasing power of the workforce and the standard of living. Significant growth in real wages often signals a tightening labor market and can lead to increased consumer spending, which may further drive inflationary pressures.
It is calculated by subtracting the annual inflation rate (CPI) from the nominal wage growth rate for the same period. The data is compiled by the Federal State Statistics Service based on payroll reports from enterprises.
