Swiss employees can anticipate real wage increases in 2025, with nominal wages expected to rise by 1.4% against a projected inflation rate of 0.7%, resulting in a real increase of 0.7%. This follows a similar trend in 2024, as purchasing power nears 2021 levels despite rising health insurance premiums impacting household budgets. Wage growth will be strongest in the IT, energy, and pharmaceutical sectors, while industrial companies lag behind.
