London, Feb 1 (Prensa Latina) A survey made by consulting firm Mercer showed today that salaries in the sector of financial services would rise in the sector of financial services this year by 4.3 percent in Latin America and Asia.
This figure represents almost double the average predicted for North America and Europe.

The Mercer poll showed that growth in salaries of emergent markets would exceed the previsión of 2.4 percent and 2.3 percent for North America and Europe.

That would occur despite the worries about how local economies face the drop in prices of commodities and a deceleration in growth of China.

The poll reviewed the payment practices of 71 banks, insurance companies and other companies of financial services in all South America, Europe, North America and Asia in October and November.

The survey also showed that 61 percent of the enterprises reviewed plan to increase the fixed salary of their employees in over five percent.

However, despite most of the firms are paying more to their personnel in fixed salaries, the report also showed that 58 percent was reducing variable remuneration in over five percent.
