• The trend is expected to reverse from 2025 onwards, with projected moderate inflation rates allowing for real wage gains despite seemingly lower nominal increases.
• The government's strategy focuses on sustainable wage adjustments coupled with inflation control to ensure workers' ability to meet their needs effectively.
