O Banco Central (BC) passará a divulgar mensalmente um novo conjunto de indicadores sobre reajustes salariais negociados em convenções coletivas de trabalho. A iniciativa deve ampliar a capacidade de monitorar as condições do mercado de trabalho e seus efeitos sobre a inflação. Com base em informações do Sistema de Negociações Coletivas de Trabalho (Mediador), do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego, os indicadores mostrarão os percentuais de reajustes negociados e a proporção de acordos que resultaram em aumentos acima, abaixo ou em linha com a inflação. Notícias relacionadas:Inflação usada para corrigir salários acumula 4,33% em 12 meses.As estatísticas incluirão os reajustes nominais, que representam o aumento dos salários em valores correntes, e os reajustes reais, que descontam a inflação e indicam se houve ganho efetivo de poder de compra para os trabalhadores. A nova base permitirá ao BC acompanhar com maior precisão o comportamento das negociações salariais e avaliar como as condições do mercado de trabalho influenciam a dinâmica dos salários. Estudo divulgado pelo BC mostra que ganhos reais de salário tendem a ser mais frequentes em períodos de mercado de trabalho aquecido e de baixa taxa de desemprego. De acordo com a autoridade monetária, esse movimento foi observado entre 2012 e 2014 e voltou a aparecer a partir de 2023, quando cresceu a proporção de convenções coletivas com reajustes acima da inflação. Segundo a análise, os reajustes negociados mantêm forte relação com a inflação medida pelo Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor (INPC). Embora não haja obrigação legal de reposição integral das perdas inflacionárias, a inflação acumulada continua sendo uma das principais referências para trabalhadores e empregadores durante as negociações. Ferramenta adicional A divulgação regular dos indicadores ampliará o conjunto de informações disponíveis para a sociedade acompanhar a evolução dos salários negociados no país e sua relação com a inflação. Os dados abrangem convenções coletivas de todas as regiões e dos principais setores da economia, como agropecuária, indústria, construção, comércio e serviços, e estarão disponíveis no Sistema Gerenciador de Séries Temporais (SGS) do Banco Central.
