According to the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the average salary of employees of government agencies in August 2024 was 55.8 thousand hryvnia. This is 44% more than at the beginning of the year, despite a slight decrease compared to July.
This information was obtained from published data from the Ministry of Finance.
The top three highest paid departments are:
- National Commission for Energy and Utilities (NCRECU) - 111.9 thousand UAH.
- Antimonopoly Committee - 97 thousand UAH.
- National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting - 79.7 thousand UAH.
It is noteworthy that the gap between the highest and lowest salaries in the public sector is quite large. For example, employees of the State Energy Supervision Inspectorate earn an average of 36 thousand UAH. - almost three times less than in NEURC.
The increase in salaries in the public sector can be explained by the desire to retain qualified personnel and increase the efficiency of government agencies. However, it also raises questions about the transparency and justification of such high payments in some departments.
