(MENAFN) Consultants Aon Hewitt said in a report that in the coming year, salaries in the UAE are forecasted to grow 5.1 percent, reported Arabian Business.
The largest rise, expected to reach 8.1 percent, will be obtained by employees in the banking sector, whereas those working in the transportation, logistics and shipping sector will receive a salary raise of 2.5 percent.
1.3 percent of UAE firms have predicted to witness a pay freeze in 2013, compared with 4.1 percent in 2011.
Many organizations have been connecting salary hikes to performance, which is seen as a healthy trend and shows the growing maturity level of the market.

It is worth noting that countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council
