Salaries in IT and BSS sectors to grow in 2023, experts estimate
The IT and business services sector in Moldova has seen significant growth in recent years. In 2023, according to economic expert Veaceslav Ioniță, exports from these sectors will grow to $820 million. At the same time, the number of employees in the IT sector has increased, and average salaries have grown significantly, reaching about 37,000 lei (about $2,000) this year.
"The IT sector in 2023 will exceed $600 million, the growth is strong and good, plus the jobs that are being created show us that our economy can still deliver workforce in these areas. In 2022, the estimated salary in the IT sector exceeded 36,000 lei. In the business services sector, it approaches 13,000 lei. I believe that in 2023, the salary in IT will exceed 42,000 lei, and the business services sector - 15,000 lei. In the real sector of the economy, the salary will be around 12,400 lei. We are talking about the average gross salary," Ioniță said.
Given that the IT and BSS sectors are currently profitable for the Moldovan economy, the government should develop them, which would allow for future job growth in the country and higher salaries than the national average, Ioniță concluded.
