Technical calculation committees believe prices in society will rise 2.7 per cent this year, while they previously estimated 2.5 per cent. This is stated in a press release from the government. The figures are crucial when the parties to the working life negotiate in the wage settlement. The figures give the parties a common starting point. LO and the Fellesforbundet have announced that they will have at least the same as last year, ie 2.2 per cent real wage growth. This means that wages must rise by 4.9 per cent this year if the employer side is to meet the employees’ requirements.
