Index

An index measures the change over time of an economic data (e.g. the price for a product) in relation to a reference period.

Salaries are indexed to changes in the cost of living. Thus, when the consumer price index (CPI) falls or rises, salaries and certain financial aid measures are in principle adjusted in the same proportion.

On 1 September 2023, the applicable index is set at 944.43.
