Nigerian workers could see fatter paychecks next year in response to skyrocketing inflation and the government’s planned wage hike, according to analysts at CardinalStone Research. Their report, titled “Sailing through troubled waters,” predicts “ample room” for higher wages in 2024.

The analysts cite two key factors driving this prediction:

Inflationary Pinch: Inflation in Nigeria stands at a 27-year high, squeezing household budgets and putting pressure on businesses to maintain employee morale and attract new talent.

Government’s Wage Hike: The Federal Government plans to implement a new wage regime in April 2024, boosting public sector salaries by an average of 30%. This could spur private companies to adjust their own compensation packages to remain competitive.

However, the potential wage increase comes with caveats. The analysts warn that higher wages could fuel further inflation if production doesn’t keep pace with increased spending. On the other hand, they believe “high base effects” in certain sectors might mitigate the overall impact on inflation.

Looking beyond inflation, the analysts see potential benefits in higher wages. Increased consumer spending could stimulate the economy, particularly after a year of economic stumbles driven by tough reforms like fuel subsidy removal.

While acknowledging potential risks, the analysts ultimately believe the benefits of higher wages outweigh the drawbacks. They anticipate Nigerian businesses will increase salaries in 2024, potentially contributing to a brighter economic outlook.

However, they caution that the prediction rests on certain assumptions, and there’s no guarantee it will come true. Nigerians should monitor inflation and production levels closely to gauge the true impact of any potential wage hikes.
