In September 2026, the average nominal monthly salary for employees in Belarus’s public sector was 2,326.3 rubles. Meanwhile, employees in state government agencies earned an average of 3,594.4 rubles.

Despite these high nominal figures, the purchasing power of incomes declined during the first month of autumn. Real wages, which account for inflation, showed a negative trend compared to August:

For public sector employees, wages fell by 0.7%.

For state government employees, the decline was more pronounced, at minus 2.8%.

The country’s overall economic statistics reflect a similar pattern. In September, the average salary in Belarus reached 3,099.3 rubles, but in real terms, it decreased by 1.7% over the month. """
