Half a million Belgian white-collar workers will see their wages rise by 3.58 per cent from January. It’s the result of the automatic indexation of Belgian wages. The calculation comes from Human Resources specialist SD Worx on the basis of the December inflation figure. Inflation remains stable at 3.16 per cent.

The employees in question fall under what is called ‘Joint Committee 200’ and represent a very diverse group of sectors ranging from call centres and publishers to the graphics industry. Overall, over 523,000 white-collar workers work in such companies.
The wages of workers who fall into this category are indexed annually, on 1 January. After the indexation of over 11 per cent in 2023 and 1.48 per cent in 2024, they can expect an indexation of 3.58 per cent next January. The total indexation over four years - since 2022 - is about 20 per cent,’ SD Worx says.
