If you're living paycheck to paycheck in Dubai, this is definitely good news for you.

Although the inflation rate has been stable at an average of 4 percent in the UAE the past two years, the salary increase is likely to take place across all industry sectors.

“There are many factors that affect the employee attraction and retention such as the work environment, the managers they work with, health and insurance programs. The top factor, however, is the compensation that would also drive the employees’ performance,” Laurent Leclère, Willis Towers Watson’s senior consultant and data services lead for the Middle East, said, according to Arabian Business .

The UAE and Bahrain are both expected to see a 4.6 percent increase in their paychecks.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait follow at 5 percent and Qatar at 4.8 percent.
