Average salary across central bodies and its dynamics
Overall, the average accrued salary of employees of central executive bodies in September was 63.88 thousand UAH. That is 4.8 thousand UAH more than for the same period a year earlier.
The figure reflects accruals for the month and may include one-off payments that affect monthly fluctuations.

- In the Supreme Court the average remuneration was 332 thousand UAH;

Headcount of public bodies
In September the actual number of employees in public bodies was 165.4 thousand people — 1.2 thousand fewer than a year earlier.
- 108.4 thousand worked in central government bodies together with territorial subdivisions;
- 23 thousand — in local state and military administrations;
Monthly salary figures can fluctuate due to one-off payments. In particular, accruals include a health recuperation allowance, compensation for unused annual leave and severance payments. Therefore the reported sums do not necessarily reflect an employee’s regular monthly pay.
