SINGAPORE (Jan 31): Singapore’s workforce is due for an average salary increase of 4% this year compared to 3.7% predicted in 2018, according to a forecast issued today by consulting firm Korn Ferry.

The data was drawn from Korn Ferry’s pay database of over 20 million job holders in 25,000 organisations across more than 110 countries. It showed predicted salary increases as forecasted by global HR leaders for this year, as compared to 2019 inflation forecasts from the Economist Intelligent Unit’s (EIU).

After adjusting for an inflation rate of 1%, real-wage salaries in Singapore are expected to grow by 3% in 2019, increasing from the predicted 2.3% for 2018.
